Agile appeals to me because it shortens the release cycle from years or
months to weeks. I'll still do rework, just like the waterfall code,
but instead of tearing up 6 months of work, I'll only have to go through
2 or 3 weeks worth.
True ... but (at least in my observation) you'll be doing the rework much more frequently ... because you your focus for the initial development was too specific.
Nothing annoys me more than someone taking the attitude "I'll code it poorly now, so it will work, and fix it up later". Better to write your code to accommodate functionality that you KNOW is going to be in the next iteration.
Refactoring is a strong attribute of the Agile / Scrum methodology ... RPG & Cobol don't lend themselves to automated refactoring (unlike Java).
