the older versions of blender used less intense versions of graphics cards and memory, i still use 2.49 for modelling and take that into the newer versions for sculpting and matting. older versions were simple to me and they are what i learned on so they are my comfort level.

Well, whatever works for your own personal workflow is perfectly fine, of course. I might still encourage getting to know the newer versions at your own pace, because there have been a tremendous amount of improvements instituted since 2.49 that could greatly enhance your modeling speed, and ability to produce more complex geometry in less time. However, if you're happy with that version, and it still fits your needs, then no one should discourage you from that.
