Around 1998, I was consulting (in FoxPro) at one of the big ecommerce sites and a mailer arrived from Adam Green Seminars promoting his new sessions on PowerBuilder, then a fairly new product, with a testimonial quote on the back about how good a teacher he was. From me!
The group was all in a flutter than Fox was Dead and Powerbuilder was The Next Big Thing. It wasn't. It amazed me how many antique technologies are still out there (looking at the folks here still running FoxPro 2.x!) and the niches they fill. Proves once again the motto that "It ain't the tool, it's how you use it."
