Interesting… most of the motivation to use new tech is that it enables me to solve problems more efficiently. When you use older, but more established technology, its limitations still hold back the problem solving a bit. This is especially hard to take when I know there are better solutions out there. And it also costs more time & money.

There probably is a pain point somewhere, where it makes sense to switch. I did like the point about reducing the cost of new technology – that may be quite often easier said than done though.



But the pain points of older technology are known whereas those of newer tech aren’t yet.
