We have a lot of FORTRAN engineering programs; not much new development or maintenance, but when there is it often gets migrate to some variety of FORTRAN or C with a GUI on a PC.
But you can't get rid of it: many of the engineers that developed the code have calculated their last structural element tensor, pocketed their slide rule, and moved on to wherever engineers go (there are definite theological debates over the fates of engineers vs. non-engineers ;-) )... but the new guys with the fresh engineering degrees are not always ready to do away with something that seems to do the calculations correctly.
