I'm a consultant who work in banking and a lot of our customers (banks)
are still using mainframes and as/400 . Sure new stuff are developed with newer technologies but legacy stuff still run on theses.

Same with hospitals. Many still use the AS/400 and mainframe. Even VAX/VMS.

Our mainframe will be going away in the next year or two, but there are not current plans to replace the AS/400 or VAX/VMS system.

I haven't worked on an AS/400 in years, but remember that they ran the web services for one of the olympics; they run their own RDBMS, can virtualize hardware nicely and they've been in development for ~30 years.

I bet most big retail shops are still running their back end processes on AS/400s.
