Why are you still using Forms 6 or older?

Oracle Forms 6 (part of Developer Tools) was introduced over 15 years ago and has now been desupported for 10 years.  This version offered great new features over older versions and with the release of 6i (6.0.8), web deployment was introduced.  Although it seems understandable why many organization might remain on this very old and very obsolete version, we want to understand your reasoning so that we can try to help you upgrade to a more modern, more stable, and more powerful version.

Please choose the answer that most accurately applies to your organization.  If you have additional details you would like to share about this topic, please leave a comment.
