Not just the C64, but also the more archaic 8-bit machines still get a lot of love and attention from those of us who still keep the machines running.
Writing code on these machines is still a very rewarding activity. Maybe not financially, but certainly the fun of actually doing something that was once considered impossible on these machines, is just really, really fun.
Myself, I'm an Oric-1/Atmos fan. http://oric.org/ http://oric.org/ has an absolutely astonishing amount of software for the machines, which barely made a ping in the 8-bit wars, and the fine folks at http://defence-force.org/ http://defence-force.org/ continue to bring new titles to the platform. More fun to be had with an old computer now than ever before .. after all, old computers never die. The users do!
