Ask HN: Examples of desktop software with 20+ years of longevity?

Some desktop apps have been developed for 20+ years and still running and available. There are not many desktop apps with longevity (and rewrites). Examples of apps still available: – Quarx : QuarkXPress (1987) – Corel : WordPerfect (bought by Corel in 1996), CorelDraw (1989) – Xara : Xara (1994) – a Windows vector illustration app still in development – Fontlab : Fontlab (1993 for Windows) – Bare Bones Software : BBEdit (1993) – UltraEdit : UltraEdit (1994) – Borland/Embarcadero : Delphi (1995) – Fantaisie Software : PureBasic (2000 for Windows) – IBM/Eclipse Foundation : Eclipse (2001) What other examples of desktop apps 20+ years old and still in development? (Excluding Microsoft, Apple and Adobe examples because everyone recognise their apps.)
