> In many cases, yes, it is worth a rewrite instead of trying to shoehorn something that exists

I also haven't seen every codebase in existence, but I have seen enough "it's only going to take a year" rewrites that absolutely should have been refactorings and so I remain rather skeptical of the claim that rewrites make sense in "many cases".

Thanks for your anecdotal comment, but it really only means something to you.
I could say the same about your comments. Your snarkiness is not appropriate for this website. Don't start commenting if you're not open to having your views challenged.
