Is it advisable to stick to the current job or do something else? What did you do at this point in your career?
UPDATE:
Responding to questions asked by @cliffrowley :
If the company won't use any new technologies and stick to the same technology stack for a long period of time then it is better to switch you career with another new place since the technology is rapidly changing and if you are stuck in the same tech stack for about another one year, when you come out from there you will feel like hell when you heard that all the techs you knew was outdated.
Based on your update, then I would say you should probably keep doing what you are doing until you feel one of these things is no longer true, and then perhaps re-evaluate. You are not missing out on anything - your happiness in the tasks that take up the majority of your working day are the most important thing :-)
There's not a simple way to answer this other than to ask a question or three in response: Are you happy where you are? Are you being sufficiently challenged? Are you working with the technologies you want to work with?

If your happy; learning new things, getting a consistent raise, like the work, get along with others there and find the work challenging - stay.
If not, for various reasons - don't like the benefits; think you could earn more money elsewhere, learn new things elsewhere - start looking.
Programmers need to take emotion out of their jobs. It's a job. If your skills are stagnating; if your miserable; if your not making what you feel you should be making - you should look elsewhere. Most (all?) employees owe their company nothing. Regarding a normal every day, day job, we're not doing charity work. You get paid a fee to produce x. So if your happy with everything - stay. If not - time to move on. The date on the calendar isn't important. Your career and supporting yourself / family, progressing your career is important.
(edit - missed the 2nd part) - I was at a job for 8 years. I learned a lot at the job and continued to do so until I was let go (cut backs) but the pay was sub par. We are made up of our experiences and getting let go gave me the confidence (needed a new job) to find something better. Since then I've had 2 jobs, 1 for 8 months which I left because I didn't like the work and the second (current job) which I love and have been at for 2 years now. My current work is a bit boring (only downside of the job) but the pay is great; everyone is nice and "easy" to work with and the benefits outweigh anything else I've come across.
