Well, I don't want to go into that flame war (from ntp-hackers) but AFAIK,
there's still some things ntpdate does that ntpd -q or -g doesn't.

ntpdate on startup is pretty fast whereas "ntpd -q" can take several minutes
to complete (recollection of ntp-hackers discussions) and that's pretty
unacceptable for many people.

So ntpdate is not dead yet.
