I've only been doing it for 25 years rather than the full 30 but in my noob opinion I'll take Docker and Github over it every time. The number of times a site failed to update because an FTP file failed to transfer completely, or that the permissions were wrong, or that the FTP client changed a file's CRLFs, or that a directory on the server wasn't writable by the FTP user, or... well, let's just admit that FTP sucked and things are far more reliable now.

When I think of FTP, I'm reminded of chmod'ing 777 until everything worked.
