Ime, “upgrading to keep up with the progress of technology” is often code for “I haven’t learned the paradigm behind this legacy code base, but I know it’s bad”. I’ve spent so much time arguing against fad-driven development where people insist on rewriting year-old redux apps to use hooks because “hooks are the future”. At this point, I more or less reflexively oppose anyone who argues for a new technology just because it’s new.
