It smells like the web app still has that new car smell. I'd guess that the web app will go through the same process of enrichment. The web app will get the special cases and direct feature requests and will eventually arrive at a similar state as the old application for similar reasons, just in a different implementation.

Spot on! This is not really something that the (our) developers can control. We're already seeing this. My point was that we could use the information gathered from the prior implementation and take better can and design the new app with a higher degree of flexibility, so that, when those special cases occur, we could, for example, change a configuration file, instead of the actual code.
