oh yes, I know some of them - but I'm more interested does some of old
applications survived the obsessiveness to change everything into a
colorful, clickable, poppable and slow (especially those web-things)
user interface.

No demand to change?
I had some funny experiences...
- a company, I know of, had a transition of about 10 (ten!) years
(no, I had nothing in common with them)
- a company, I worked for, started to rewrite the whole applications
after more then 5 years and a partially ready SW the company closed
- another company said to me "we do not need you any more,
next year we will get a nice, good-looking new SW".
They said this ten years (and some months) ago!
Guess, what all three stories have in common?
All managers, who were responsible for the new applications said "CHUI?
That is neither modern nor nice, can't use the mouse and generally
speaking, what is mumps? We will do the new application much much better!"

And in which time?
Thanks.
