A good rewrite looks like a refactor.
Strangle that monolith and none will be the wiser.

I love that answer. Strangling for me is the best of both worlds: you can do it iteratively/cautiously but at the same time you can start "fresh" if necessary/possible.
Conversely, a good refactoring process eventually results in a complete effective rewrite.
