I also don't think that full rewrite from scratch is a viable strategy. Much better is to rewrite by pieces and integrate them with existing system via interfaces/adapters/etc. For example, you may start new Data Layer and move code from old app to it slowly, but constantly. Sometime you will have completely new DL.

Believe it or not I have seen multiple people succeed with a full rewrite from scratch. The ones I have been close to did it with a prototype they evolved.
