don't know about tomoyo. Have some experience with apparmor on Ubuntu
(seems weak / barely implemented / easily defeated) and of course
SELinux.

It seems that the team working on SELinux has substantially grown, the
tools have matured, the processes more deeply identified and the support
greatly enhanced and thus by any definition... actively developed.

Your choice not to use it is of course your own but I can assure you
that it is indeed possible to use it, create a reasonably effective
security layer through it with a minimum level of difficulty - or at
least a manageable level of difficulty if you are pre-disposed to
creating files in one location and moving them to an entirely different
location which is certain to create contextual problems.
