No Ada83 was useful. It's just that Ada95 is _more_ useful.
I think that the compiler & tool sellers have certainly done
a lot better job recently, but that doesn't invalidate a lot
of the good stuff that was created with previous tools.

  
"And this is after it took 10+ years to get to the `83
  product?"

Not quite sure what you are saying here. 10 years from 73
to 83? 10 years from 83 to 93 (and then another 16? :-)?
