That's my impresion: some well-tested code is good, although it might be not 
so "hot" nor "cool".

Like the Tcl/Tk programming combo: it's been around forever as a 
cross-platform system.. It works, there are no major changes to it because it 
works just fine... but is has been "phased out" favouring fledgleing (?)  
languages such as python, perl, php...
