I’ve seen corporate networking equipment (Cisco) released in the early 2010s whose admin console uses ActiveX controls and only runs on IE. I think by then it was pretty clear that this was not the technology of the future. But even a big company like Cisco was still doing this.
This is why the tech world infuriates me. Back in the 2000s I already knew that ActiveX was a proprietary piece of shit, yet companies still spent millions using it because, fuck it, the slaves will spend all their deadlines switching to a new technology, instead of using their brains and writing cross-platform applications in neutral languages. Sorry for the rant but I’ve seen this way too many times. They burn money because they can and they don’t care.
