Sure! And this does not mean that once we are standing on them we can start to piss on their head. (e.g., the python programmers who despise C, or the matlab programmers who despise fortran). There is a worrying trend of ignorant programmers who dismiss "old-school" or "legacy" systems without realizing that they rely on them every day.
