I'm not sure this kind of entrenchment is endemic of COBOL programmers specifically. I knew plenty of people in college who, once they knew Java, were perfectly content with their ability to program, and will probably be happily employed for the foreseeable future. I think it just boils down to the difference between the 9am-5pm'ers and the 5pm-9am'ers.
