Software moves on at a break-neck pace these days--version numbers clock up ever quicker as vendors try to market their apps as the latest and greatest. Software generally ages badly, falling into a state of looking grossly out of date, lacking new functionality that we've come to depend upon as well as compatibility problems. Dear OSNews readers, what old software (5+ years) do you still use, why, and what problems do you come across in sticking with it? Read More for my own contribution to the list

I stuck to PSP7 for ages, it certainly does get things done. Versions 8 and 9 were bloated and terribly disorganised. With version 10, Corel took over and put the app back on track making it more of a drawing tool than a photo tweaking app and the vectors were greatly enhanced so I switched over as I had pushed 7 to it's technical limits.
Version 11 they then lost the plot again (turning it back into a photo tweaker) and I haven't tried version 12 yet, but then 10 does everything I need and I suspect I will stick with it for another three years or more.

Still using Paint Shop Pro 7 (2000), as later versions were uselessly more complex. It still works on Win7, why would I have to change?
