Sure, I'd be happy to. Converting apps from an old platform to a newer platform is reliable work, and I've done my share of it over my career. It often is structured as temporary projects, so I've had the opportunity to travel to short-term gigs in new cities while I build out platform conversion plans.
Sure, not everyone re-writes old apps. But enough companies do it to make it a decent professional specialty to cultivate. And it doesn't hurt knowing both the modern stacks and multiple generations of legacy stacks when working with large organizations. Sign me up.
I know of at least one company with such a stack. Just like I know others with Web Forms, Stucts, SEAM, JSP, Zope and many other stacks in production.
Not everyone re-writes their webapps, specially in companies where software is a cost center and totally unrelated to their main business.
