Fair enough, but it's still a massive time and resource sink. You also can't really implement new features during the re-write lest project creep gets out of control, and even after the rewrite the product will be less stable than the original for quite a while until it's had sufficient time to mature.

It might be worth the investment to ditch proprietary software from a predatory company and jump to open source though, which can't really pull shit like this in its future.
