    I understand you're talking about programs "installed" (with
respect to "used") on your PC. But the applications which matter most
for you and me aren't even installed on our PCs but in various
industries, among which the one industry which runs the highest number
of applications is the bank; and their applications are mostly written
in COBOL, and you can trust them. I would change bank if I learned they
were managing my account in PHP of Bash.
