What very old/unmaintained software do you still use today, and why?

I still use Font Renamer to manage my font collection. It works great but hasn't received an update since 2008. Even the website looks straight out of the Windows XP era.

I use the venerable lynx text browser [1] every day. It emerged slightly after the release of html and the web in the early to mid 90's.

I don't use a text browser but I do use elinks to make sure my website works properly in it.
