Dated is a term that is often applied with a broad brush to software in the past. Giving undo credence to new over the old is what I am referring to with the phrase "temporal bigotry". New is not better, it is just new. The better part has to be proven. The ability to make poor choices, write bad code and ignore already working solutions is timeless.
With tech itself, newer stuff usually performs better, is easier to use, and has better features.
Older stuff sometimes has one or two of them, but more newer has all of them more often than older, once the new thing reaches maturity(If that ever happens, since it often takes the aforementioned thousands of man years referenced in the thread)
Web3 is sadly changing this though.
