Dude I still get contracts in ColdFusion. You guys have no idea how slowly actual businesses actually move.

Ain't that the truth. It's common to see businesses using systems from the 90s in my line of work, or managing crucial business data and workflows in spreadsheets. Once companies establish a workflow they're often very hesitant to change it due to all the dependencies.
And in a lot of cases they're making the right call. Change is incredibly expensive and risky and if the only real payoff is "it's slightly faster" that's probably not worth it.
