I should add that you cannot forget the sales side when deciding on doing a rewrite. That is, how are you going to recover the cost of the rewrite?
One of our struggling competitors has, as far as I know, a decent replacement in the form of a rewritten product. But trying to recover the cost they're trying to pitch it as an upgrade. So a license to the new version is much more expensive.
Apparently a lot of clients either do not see the added value over their current version, or, given the higher price, they're considering alternatives such as us.
