I really dislike generalizations.
If you can use an old computer for development — great, I'm happy for you. But please don't assume everyone can, or wants to. For my type of work, no CPU has enough single-core performance (I need quick bursts). And since programming is what I do several hours every day, it is quite an important part of my life, so I'm not willing to torture myself on old hardware just for the sake of it.
