It's easy for someone exposed only to the major development platforms to
think that all that old stuff is obsolete. Last year I thought it was
getting obsolete and then I developed a game for Nintendo 3DS. That
platform has a good quality compiler but no standard shared_ptr or function
or bind.

We're not there yet. :)
