Laying this at the feet of other developers is a bit too harsh. Most developers I know would rather use the best tools there are. They don't have the freedom to choose as that rests with others. I would put the blame squarely on management as they are the decision makers. I have had to do work on JDK 1.4 this year as well as Struts 1.1, and had to use version control systems built by companies that don't exist any more.
We are here because businesses don't see the value in upgrading their technology and in training their developers to use the latest technology.
