It stopped being supported on the release of 10.10.3, that does not mean that it doesn't work anymore however.
Apple stopped selling iPhoto with the release of Photos and MacOS X 10.10.3, but released the compatibility update iPhoto 9.6.1 for compatibility with MacOS X 10.10.3, so it supported for MacOS X 10.10 compatibility, there will be just no further development beyond Yosemite.
Photos was not forced upon anyone. You don't have to use it, just like you did;t have to use iPhoto.
Half an answer Terence.... No, it was not forced upon us, but it is something that many who do not use Photoshop, Lightroom, Elements or other photo software got used to as a default over these many years. Now, there will be no support for iPhoto, and my experience with Photos to date is highly undesirable; crashed with first and subsequent uses. And, so far, I can't even delete it. So, thanks for stating the obvious and not helping; at least the others gave me relevant answers.
Then use something else, you have always had the choice.
And one more time - if you do not like Photos do not use it - no one is forcing you to do anything - use iPhoto and if you want look for a follow on solution that you like - possibly including Photos as new features are added - possibly not but a totally different product like LightRoom or Picasa or what ever
