Agreed. If the floppy system fulfills it's purpose safely, why switch for the sake of it? New stuff can be better, when it's better integrated or even if it's just easier to use (less errors) but old tech in and of itself isn't bad.

I agree... many people seem very purist. But I think it depends on what you're doing. Some things make sense to do fast and cheap. I work helping fundraising, and it's often better to have 95% solution that is delivered on time than a 100% solution that comes out after the campaign has ended for example. Management should warn us ahead of time and give us the time and the space to do it right, sure, but how often is that reality? As long as it's a conscious trade off I think it's fine.
