As far as rewriting, we converted from VMS to Linux over the past ten years, and we're converting DCL to Python before DCL support dies off. Every new VP thinks we should rewrite the entire application, and then looks at the estimate to rewrite a 35-year-old Fortran system with 18MM+ lines of code and says "Forget it, carry on..."
All the programmers in my department are in the 51-72 age range, and I think only three of us are under 60. There soon won't be anyone left to offshore
