virtual machines exist, and it might be easier to run something in them than to port them every two years.

  I'm talking about innovation and progress. In an ideal world retro computing remains a hobby.

    in my ideal world, innovation and progress means new software brings new functionality - not half the old functionality that barely works because "rewrite".

    Progress is in the eye of the beholder. Case in point: Fiddler. A debugging HTTP proxy, originally a one-man-show; the Classic version is still amongst the most powerful tools out there. Except...well...there's no way to monetize it. So, a New and Innovated version, which is less powerful (yes, it has some new features, but at the expense of dropping the actual power tools), more bloated, and subscription-based. Progress!
