And of course there are still a lot of VGA-only projectors out there (especially the ceiling mounted ones in meeting rooms) - having a VGA port is a godsend when you come across them!

I don't think you've been able to buy a VGA-only projector for a long time now. What I tend to find is projectors that have HDMI and DP ports left unused and connected to VGA only. And then everyone carries around a HDMI or DP to VGA adapter for them...

KVM switches are also a pain point - there are still many VGA-only KVMs which can get pricey to replace. It's probably not a problem for the laptop use case but it is for the home-lab setup.

  Amen to that. The exorbitant cost to replace my perfectly functional KVM switch is what keeps me on PS/2 and VGA. Does anyone make a backlit PS/2 keyboard, or are the power requirements too high?

    A web search found that the PS/2 interface apparently survived for a while in gaming keyboards due to advantages I wasn't aware of - apparently PS/2 had slightly better latency and N-key rollover. Even those keyboard switched to USB eventually. The only recently made and currently available with backlight PS/2 keyboard I found is the "Zowie Celeritas II" gaming keyboard (the manufacturer's page says USB+PS2, the reviews say it ships with a usb TO ps2 adapter). However it's pretty expensive, and the red leds might not fit your taste.
