Define recent..

And how long will recent stay recent?
As long as its not looking 20 years outdated and remains functional, it has a place for most applications.

We are doing quite a bit of C#, JSON HTML5 web development nowadays and yes you can create a modern GUI out of that, but we find it painfully (despite to have qualified programmers trained on exactly that) slow and tedious to design the GUI you want. It still requires messing in programming your GUI in HTML.

Meanwhile, while sometimes feeling a dinosaur, I'm pounding away implementing new functionality in a 20+ year old application.... not having the reactive screen, device independed and gesture aware properties, but most EMRs do not have to.
