The Taliban have largely survived and thrived as well due to extensive Pakistani support. The difference here is that the US and USSR withdrew their support from their allies while the ISI never really did. That might change now that they're going to have to deal with the Taliban governing across the border, but only time will tell.

Afghanistan’s Taliban Ban All Education for Girls (The Wall Street Journal)
...
In addition to barring women and girls from education, the Taliban have imposed a raft of rules to govern female behavior.
Women now need a male guardian to travel more than 48 miles, or to undertake basic tasks such as entering government buildings, seeing a doctor or taking a taxi. They are banned from nearly all jobs, except medical professions and, until Wednesday, teaching. Women also can no longer visit public parks.

And the apologists said we were fear-mongering. I'll count it as a point of progress that women aren't wholly banned from the medical profession, but I do need to read up to see if the idiotic insistence on gender segregation has been implemented there as well.

At this point, it's probably fair to conclude that the Taliban won't ever completely stamp out the insurgency for much the same reason that their insurgency was never completely stamped out. The terrain makes it too easy for irregular forces to hide and set ambushes, and, beyond that, there's not enough internal cohesion to bring everyone to the table without serious concessions.

More progressive than the old Taliban, less progressive than the majority of medieval Islamic polities.

The higher ups have been trying to moderate a bit in some respects (mainly in regards to Shiā Muslims and women) in order to be more palatable to the rest of the world. Much to their chagrin, their fighters are much more idealistic and intent on implementing the so-called “Islamic emirate” that has been drilled into their heads for 20 years.
