A package may be a bit outdated, or not. If so, it in itself means
nothing other than that it is a bit outdated. Even if it is free of
bugs, and do what it is supposed to do, fast.
I think it is legitimate to ask here for alternatives.
Yes, but asking in a way that doesn't antagonize the experts in the
field is probably a good strategy. For example, "I want to do X, and
haven't been able to find a way to do it in packages A, B or C. Did I
miss something, or is there another package that might be able to do that?"

Hi Ben,
It's not very polite to call people's work "outdated", especially when
given to you for free. Those packages have been around and stable
for the better part of a decade, will remain stable, are actively
maintained, and all work well together to form a comprehensive suite
of tools for financial analysis.
Best,
Josh

Hello everyone,
Could anyonre recommend some good resources for finance applications
in R? I find the packages quantmod, TTR and PerformanceAnalytics a
bit outdated. There must be something more recent on the market. Any
suggestions will be much appreciated!
Cheers,
