Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!  YOU are the only 1990s cruft.

Motif is quite alive and kicking:

<https://github.com/thentenaar/motif>

Furthermore, a lot of critical GNU/Linux programs are based in
Motif, such as GNU ddd (I'll let you find other examples):

<https://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/>

But then you don't do much debugging or even programming for that
matter.  After all, it would seriously detract from your time spent
spewing your ignorant posts on Usenet.

Also, Tcl/Tk is as vibrant as ever and is fundamental in many
GNU/Linux projects (including my own).

These graphical toolkits will remain forever valuable and a cheap
corp such as IBM/RedHat with its cheap agenda to dare limit these
toolkits is a crime against humanity.
