We currently use a Preventive Maintenance program at work to track work orders and PM's. It is a Four Rivers product called TMS. It only runs on Internet Explorer because it is a Java Web App and TMS won't update it.
In my experience, it's often been large corporations that have been around for a long time. At my current company, IE users make up about 10% of our customer user base, which is way higher than the global averages of 2-4%, which is really interesting.
I'm a self-taught dev focused on websites and Python development.
My friends call me the "Data Genie".
When I get bored, I find tech to read about, write about and build things with.
Usually larger corporations that are running (older versions of) SAP or other outdated backend systems that only work properly (or: 'as expected') in IE.
Most likely because they have no need to upgrade to latest version and the insanely high invoice that comes with that.

Indeed. I heard that most of our IE customers are in hospitals
All companies still in 2020 use it all over Europe, very sad but true.
