I'm always curious how even the oldest of tech ticks, so I don't know if I've ever felt like I was being 'forced' to learn or that it was unpleasant. There are certainly features of C# I miss when doing VBA, or things in F# I'd like PHP to be able to do, or TypeScript features that make Classic ASP feel clunky, but I also respect the crufty crustiness of the old guard - especially if has made the company millions of dollars (which in my experience, these old bits of tech often have!).
