Longevity has a cost. It ends up with outdated support and APIs. Software lives and has to evolve. That's why now all software has CI and code coverage test to allow agile development, which was not really the case at the time of applets. IMO, it is a good thing to deprecate things (even to remove them) it forces programmers to be more agile. Some corporate should try to start thinking this way.

If being “more agile” means that instead of making software that still does its job several years later, I make something that needs constant attention to stay working, then I’m OK with keeping my uncool, old-fashioned ways of doing things.
