In your opinion, which FOSS software is by many considered "old" or "obsolete", but are in fact, in your opinion, in many ways better than the newer alternatives? (feddit.dk)

I'll start:

  • RSS and blogs, news vs. social media
  • XMPP vs. WhatsApp/FB messenger/Snapchat
  • IRC vs. Matrix, Teams, Discord etc.
  • Forums vs. Social media, Reddit, Lemmy(?)

vi, lynx, mutt, and of course X11 > wayland

Is lynx worth using? How does JavaScript work? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser)

Lynx doesn't support Javascript. Links ( http://links.twibright.com/ ) is marginally more usable, but still has no Javascript, and I wouldn't want it as a daily driver either. Text-mode browsers just can't handle Web 2.0 (although, to be honest, I'm not that fond of Web 2.0).
