Were the previous ones not getting the job done? 4 rewrites over what time period? I am more in the camp of "let's do something useful" than "let's rewrite this because previous guy didn't do it good, or it no longer meets our demands". Because whatever you do it will get rewritten again, and it's imho useful to resist the urge. Ps: also a googler.
