I think it’s become an incredibly small and important niche, and that’s ok. It’s not broken, doesn’t need to be fixed, and compared to other costs spending $100mm/yr on COBOL programmers and mainframes isn’t going to destroy their business. It’s highly specialized stuff. It has a proven track record of working very well. Switching off of it will cause a lot more headaches than it will fix.
