A lot of rewrites end up trading one set of problems with similarly sized set of different problems. But to be honest the rewrite was probably a positive for the devs. They have more cool stuff on their resume and will do better in the market. That’s one of the big problems with finding jobs.

Even your own company will hire new people for new sexy projects instead of the people who did what was good for business.
