Even if the project is 'dead' it still runs, particularly on Windows.
I'm running the final release of Winamp as I type this. I organize my hard disk with the 1.0 of Spacemonger, which was free before it went paid. I edit audio files with Sound Forge 11 (up to 14 or so now) and before that I had a pirated copy of 6.0 that worked pretty well. I have a 'programs' folder full of stuff that runs without installation, some of which hasn't been touched in 5 or 10 years, and everything still runs when I try it.
Code is eternal.

Especially win32 apps, thanks both to windows and wine

For software I want to run long term, I always get the win32 version.
You are my software twin. I'm using Winamp 2.95 this very moment, and Spacemonger 1.0 which still works fantastically. Both have slight crashes in rare edge cases now but perfectly usable day-to-day. You wouldn't perchance also be using an old version of UltraEdit before the heavy focus on subscriptions?
Hah, no I paid for Sublime Text way back when, and before that I was big on Notepad++. I rarely update either though :)
