I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music
A shameless plug, but you may also like Quod Libet[1]. Although not for everyone, it has very advanced searching and the more unusual integrations and features all implemented as plugins.

Which music players exist which are currently still developed/maintained and have a GUI?
Quod Libet works well in my limited experience. I don't use it for extensive things besides playing music, making playlists, and such. It fits your qualifications by the standards I just mentioned, has a GUI, and last contribution on their github seems to be 9 days ago for the docs, and 15 days ago for code related materials.
