Over the years, I've noticed that many programmers who want to re-write, just aren't comfortable modifying other people's code, or it wasn't written in their favorite language. So, they are critical of the code and urge for a re-write. These people generally make bad programmers. If you have people on your staff that want to re-write this program, or switch to this framework (because it's what they are used to), then watch out. That's a bad sign.
Competent programmers can maintain other people's code, those who cannot want to re-write everything. Train wreck in progress. Run from these people, or fire them if you're in a position to do so.
