And this, of course, is where we disagree. You see rewrites as
normal and the best way to go. I see them as usually a waste of
time being called on for the wrong reasons. Because your peers
at a conference laugh at your legacy system is no reason to rewrite
it. (And, yes, I have seen senior management want to make major
and often ridiculous changes based on something their peers said
over lunch at a conference!!)
There is a whole discipline dedicated to determining
if, when and how to modernize IT systems.
But mistakes are made.
Some systems are attempted to be modernized even though they should not.
Some systems are kept even though they should have been modernized.
The second is probably more common than the first.
