The only one I can think of is Java - which uses *.java and *.class for 
source and object files.

Visual Studio uses a few like *.vcxproj and similar.

Flam3 uses *.flam3 (then again, this software originates from Unix).

In short, this stupidity is slowly drifting away - but only slowly.



Next up: Why, in the year 2014, am I still running installers that have 
16-bit dithered logos? WTF?
