I have a similar feeling towards "Legacy." Aka "Everyone who wrote it doesn't work here anymore and I can't be bothered to learn how it works"

Why are you using that heirloom framework instead of something post-modern?
I heard a story from the 1990s. Oracle was going around to encourage people to write their domain-specific components as a Data Cartridge. Their evangelist pissed off the owner of a local software company by casually referring to how customers port 'legacy' software to Oracle.
