What old software do you still use today?
Doesn't have to be old software, it can be something that mimics it.

Hidmacros
Some ancient windows 95 macro tool that supports multiple keyboards and handles them as separate input devices
So if you plugged in a second full size keyboard to your computer and bound the letter g to something it would not bind your main keyboard's g key

Sometimes VirtualDub2 for clipping, stitching, video filters.
I typically use FFmpeg directly on the command line, along with shell and/or lua scripts (in conjuncture with mpv), but sometimes I still use VirtualDub, which let's me serve/pipe frames directly to the any external binary, like ffmpeg, so it all ends up being the same tools interfacing with each other to combine their feature-sets.
I particularly like how fast it starts up and responds, along with how easy it is to customize the hotkeys and encoders.
I do my edits, hit the export to external encoder key, and select the profile (command line parameter set) I want ffmpeg to use.

Accurately simulating the universe is not easy, to pinpoint one small fraction of truth. Since it requires data on scales LITERALLY hitherto undreamt of, we should start with just a simple study of what we would need to simulate a tiny little morsel of our planet.

Well, since I plan to make ancestor simulations one of my future projects, one cool thing we will need to simulate is every software humans have created. Making this thread a perfect synchronicity gold mine for anachronistic understanding of acausal connections.

Surprised no one mentioned roguelikes (eg. Rogue, Angband, etc.)
Brogue is new but since it uses ASCII I guess it falls under the category that imitates old.
