I've been a developer for a while, starting from QBasic, then Pascal, Delphi, C/C++, Flash, Qt, etc. happily switching from one technology to the next when it makes sense.

Today I use Electron and React Native, which needless to say are not very popular, but for sure I could never have developed the kind of cross-platform software I write today with the technologies I used many years ago. Partly for lack of skills, but also of time (cross-platform development was way more difficult), or simply because computers back them were not powerful enough.

I don't have any special nostalgia for old technologies, some stuff were good, some not so much. And as OP is showing you're still free to use old software if you don't like what's being done today.
