It's still around in AOS form where it can run native or as a
user-space program under other OSs. I used it to try out someone else's
work and didn't really find the UI very elegant. In particular I
couldn't copy text from the compiler error window, which I thought was
desperately bad. Anyway, apart from that it worked; middle-clicking to
compile and to launch the program was ok, and the OpenGL program I was
trying out ran very smoothly.
The only link I seem to have kept is http://www.ocp.inf.ethz.ch/

This is obviously some strange usage of the word
"simple" that I was previously unaware of.
