Why would anyone think that writing code from scratch would be a good idea? It makes refactoring impossible. It is also the antithesis of kaizen, continuous *incremental* improvement. Even when the resulting code is almost completely different from the original, as for example, Leo's minibuffer code compared to LeoUser's prototype, the process of refactoring is still worthwhile.
