I call plenty of things dead without ever having used them. FORTRAN for example.

What I mean by dead is it's a VERY unlikely choice for any new app. People will choose React or Vue most of the time. You don't see Angular used hardly ever for a new project.

BTW: Vite is the new best way to manage the build pipeline, and makes React super easy to start using.

I’ve never used a drill press; does that make them dead?

Fortran certainly has its issues with portability and feature development, but it is by no means dead.

As I already pointed out, my use of "dead" doesn't mean "no longer in use". It means no longer being selected by choice for a new project.

And your drill press example is agreeing with me, which is that, as I also already said myself, no one needs to have ever used something to be able to declare it dead, nor did I declare something dead because I don't personally use it. That's absurd.
