I unironically like working on legacy projects. It's good to know it stood the test of time and my efforts spent on it won't be wasted, because it is unlikely to be dropped.

Of course this assumes there is a way to introduce improvements at all. Just keeping the lights on isn't as satisfying.

I enjoy it too, I explained why in an SE answer some years ago and I still feel this way - https://workplace.stackexchange.com/a/139878/5229
