I don't see why a new implementation couldn't maintain the current UI/native feel outside of poor decision making.
I could see it as a net positive, with cleaner easier to maintain code base built on more recent tech that is more accommodating to younger developers.
If they could pull off what Atom.io/Github did for the old ingrained IDE world in a mail client, that would be incredible, IMO.
