What very old/unmaintained software do you still use today, and why?

I still use Font Renamer to manage my font collection. It works great but hasn’t received an update since 2008. Even the website looks straight out of the Windows XP era.

I was gonna say something like ping, but there’s still a surprising amount of development going on for such a simple tool (40th anniversary, yay!): https://github.com/iputils/iputils/blob/master/ping/ping.c

So… retro games it is. Currently playing through Broken Sword (1996).
