You're correct- but what if people STARTED by using R7? Then they'd be like "well I don't know how to use R6" which, if you ask me, is better than not knowing how to use R7.
When I first started scripting, I looked at strcmp commands with a dropped jaw. I then looked at sscanf with a dropped jaw, but after reading, it made more sense to me than using strtok. After continuing to read, I found out that is was WAY more efficient and WAY better in general.
To this day I don't know how to write an strcmp with parameters (like /kick [nick/id]).
Same with saving/loading data- I never learned a file-based system simply because MySQL/SQLite (IMHO, again) provides more expansion.
Nonetheless, my point is: if people don't know the outdated ways of programming, they are less likely to make a bad decision in terms of "choosing a system."
