I agree that all applications need re-doing at some point. The ideal is
that this need arrouses from changes in law, or in bussiness, and not
because you got more users or becuase you upgraded you OS.

And, it seems to my that you have only one tool: .net. A drill is very
good for making holes, or driving screws, but, if you use the drill to
drive nails...

I have yet to find a language where you don't have to re-do the application

needs to run on multiple servers. While it's true that RPG IS in a better
position for this, there are still some times that a program needs to be
re-architected because of growing demand.

What I am trying to prove is that the limitation isn't the language, it is
the programmer and their understanding of the language and their experience
(and many times the deadline).

I know RPG can be a hammer and do everything. For some, that is the only
choice. But if you have a drill, use the sheetrock screws to put up the
drywall instead of nails.
