During the last 15 years or so, I only rewrote large parts of the code from scratch three times, but it was absolutely worth it. Two of these refactorizations are now 12 and 7 years old, respectively, and they have proven themselves very well. They barely need any maintenance, on a level of "a one-liner change every two years or so".
