WPF is another victim in ever changing technological landscape in Microsoft. Who uses or even remembers these days ATL/WTL, MFC, OLE DB, ADO, DAO, ODBC etc. etc.?


Now you know why MSFT has the largest developer community in the world.

There are endless lists of technologies that do the exact same thing.


Who uses or even remembers these days QuickDraw, QuickDraw 3D, WebObjects, Carbon, Qt for Java, Java Bridge, Nettalk, Hypercard, NewtonScript, etc


I still use ADO and ODBC (oh, and the BDE, remember that one?) on a regular basis. I wish I didn't, but I do.


Raises hand, still have a VM with Delphi 7 that is opened once a week or so....


Only once a week? Can I have your job, please? I get to use that and 5 on a daily basis.


Will anyone be mad enough to adopt the next living corpse of tomorrow - WinJS?
