I hear DXInput is no longer supported. So, how are we to get joystick input these days? Professionally, not with open source projects.

It *should* still be supported for joysticks. I don't know if they're actually planning on removing it from the SDK anytime soon.
It's just not recommended for keyboard and mouse.

I think it's pretty limited in what fancy buttons/throttles and whatnot it supports, but look at the windows media api joystick section
