We’re not talking about Winamp. A more accurate comparison is the Adobe CS suite: no one use CS5 anymore.


No one uses old versions, sure.

But sometimes you have important old projects.

For example, my parents used photoshop elements to touch up all of my sister’s baby photos.

But my parents were not very technical and kept most of the photos as photoshop project files.

Idk if project files that old will open in newer versions of photoshop, but I don’t need to worry, bc I can always find a download of that old photoshop elements and open the projects in there.

It’s not as much about daily use as it is about planned (or inevitable) obsolescence.

Everything web based WILL become unusable or change drastically some day.
