In my research field, about 80% of the software is Fortran. Actively developed Fortran. I wouldn't really compare it with 1-2-3/other DOS-apps or blackberry which are basically the software equivalent of consumables.

Is your research publicly available?

[markstos]

Fortran is no longer dominant.

Neither is it a "footnote", especially in its strongest domain, numerical computation.

That obviously depends on the field.
