+  Drupal has evolved over the years, so why do a lot of people remember old versions?
+---
+
+I started learning software and web development with HTML and CSS in 2007. Then I started with PHP and soon after started to learn Drupal 6 (or maybe 5).
+
+A lot of Developers' first programming language was PHP and maybe used earlier versions of Drupal before moving to another CMS, framework or language.
+
+They still remember, though, how things were when they used it and aren't aware of the advancements and improvements that have been made.
+
+The PHP language itself has improved significantly in recent versions with new features and much better peformance.
+
+Drupal is more powerful with a lot more available in core compared to when I started to use it and, since adopting modern PHP approaches and third-party code in Drupal 8, writing custom Drupal modules is different with fewer Drupalisms and more industry-standard approaches.
+
+If there's a tool you haven't tried for a while, maybe take another look and see if it's improved since you last used it.
