Mary Wells and many other MoTown artists are still played every day.

Just like 5250 apps! Except they are still useful and a joy to listen to - which is more than can be said for most 5250 apps.

Motown did rewrite quite often else they where stucked Mary Wells in 1964

The issue, to my mind, is the larger organization, the shop with 100+
users clanging away at the system. Who in their right minds signs up for
fad-of-the-season and

a) total rewrites of every thing every 5 years or less, or

b) a shop with a new layer added every few years and a system after 15
years that is so out-of-balance and disjointed that finding new staff that
can work in the hodge-podge is impossible.

Either solution is a wire rope act that not many shops can pull off.

with all due respect I think you should ask some venture capitalist to
judge your
techniques and the UX from your UI - if they can smell gold - you have a
hit (and
becomes rich in the process - not to forget).
