One could say the same of a 35-year-old core (the 65xx CPU's from MOS) but there is an active project underway to examine, and replicate, the 6502(?) wafer as a study help for hobbyists, students, and future chip designers. Not to denigrate the new tools, but it helps to know where we came from, and how the "impossible" became reality.
