This fact alone makes me so glad that I stuck with older tech that has withstood the test of time for our own SaaS. I know that we have users from bleeding edge tech companies sign up for our service, then run away when they glean the 'ancient' tech that it runs on - but then again, I think we have outlasted many other new tech frameworks/languages that have rocketed on high, then fizzled out into obscurity in that same time.
