> The problem is the opposite - people keep using old features when the new is better. I realize not everything new is better, but most of them are, yet people keep refusing to learn and use the new thing without good justification.
I think we are saying the same thing here. Often the new is better so it's hard to really justify sticking to the old outside of project specific reasons (i.e. toolchain doesn't support new std). That people do it has less to do with justification and more to do with time commitment or laziness and the excuses given tend to fall away once pressed.
