tomcat ... Yeah, I'm sure big enterprises use this, just like they still use COBOL.

I can confirm that Tomcat does still get used. Tomcat provides a thin and fast Java EE web server, perfect for containerized deployments of projects that don't need the full EE stack. My employer uses it for Jenkins and Jasperserver (and probably others that I'm not recalling ATM).

Projects come and go. commons-http (now split in smaller parts) is still going strong.

Subversion, well, that was "CVS done right" and as Linus once said, "you can't do CVS right". It was a breath of fresh air at its time, but going nowhere by design.

OpenOffice only landed in ASF's lap after Oracle killed it, but refused to acknowledge it did.

You're also forgetting projects like Kafka, Spark and their kin

yup tottaly agree with you sir..
