I got hired for a job specifically because I knew crystal reports! I don't miss that.

I got hired for a job because I was willing to learn to program on OpenVMS. I'd never heard of it, but asked the interviewer "it's a lot like UNIX, right?". He looked at me, waited 5 or 10 seconds, and said "no." Oh well, I passed their C and SQL tests, they weren't going to let me go that easily.
I'll probably retire when they finally retire it, but at the rate they're going I may beat them to it. I won't miss it, but I won't regret it either.

Remember? If only.
I work outside of tech. We still use it.
Remember Crystal Reports? Oh god, the pain. The pain.
