I take your point.  I should have said codebase and development 
framework that is 20 years old, locking programmers into productivity 
levels that might have been state-of-the-art in 1993. Ostensibly 
MakeMusic has dealt with this issue -- at least somewhat -- during this 
2.5 year hiatus.  I hope so, but I don't think you can "completely 
rewrite" an application of this scope in a couple of years.
