On: Emacs 26.2 Released

On Windows, some file managers are in this category. E.g. Far has been around for about 25 years now, and still has a cult-like following, especially in Eastern Europe / ex-USSR.

ImageMagick is another one that has been around for almost 30 years, and is the Swiss army knife of batch image processing on any platform.

you get me to think about guys like Game of Thrones author, who writes in WordStar 4.0 for DOS :)

And in a way.. MS Office has been forever, even though it changed a lot in the recent years .. Excel is still Excel.

On file managers: Norton / Midnight Commander.

Well, you won't really see anybody using the original NC outside of DOS emulation. Midnight Commander and Far are spiritual successors, hence why I'm counting from mid-90s for them, not from mid-80s.

I suppose it could be seen as vi to Vim, though.
