TL;DW: No, it's not that simple, replacing working code is probably not a good idea, hybrid approaches are best.

Depends what you mean by "working".

I think that's a pretty moronic take when we're talking about operating systems.

They obviously work. I'm using one right now and the site we're communicating on is using one also.

Or do you have another definition which encapsulate the basic notion of "work" and adds to it?
