Discussion on: Why are developers still using this legacy framework?

I think we spend too much time reinventing the wheel..

In my 20 years of web programming I've rarely found new languages/frameworks to be much better than the older ones. In fact, they tend to lack a lot of good features the more mature frameworks had (but we cannot use anymore because they are "out of date").

I think overall this tendency towards abandonware is not really a benefit for companies.

I'm not against innovation, but very few new things are true innovation. Most are just new ways of doing the same old thing.

Like fashion.
