Sometimes people pick what they know, or what they want to learn, or what all the cool kids are using. And they don't think beyond that.

I have some GUI programs written in Tcl/Tk which is used nowadays by almost nobody and people generally scoff about... but my programs written in 2002 still work perfectly with modern Tcl/Tk.

FWIW, Tcl/Tk is still used heavily in the Scid Chess DB software (see https://scid.sourceforge.net/ ) which I use on an almost daily basis to enter, analyze and maintain my chess games. It's a great piece of software, and the most viable FOSS alternative to the proprietary and costly Chessbase.
