Heard of developers today using the 2005 version of their IDE because they need to support widespread legacy systems that won't be updated to newer software for the foreseeable future (and modern versions of the IDE have become incompatible).

Legacy is here to stay. There'll likely still be people hacking on COBOL in 2025.

At my last job, we were still supporting .NET 1.1 apps using Visual Studio 2003.

At my last job, we were still supporting .dlls written in VB6. Last I heard they had plans to upgrade them to .NET by Q2 2016.
