I worked for a company that produced Real Estate software for the
commercial side of things. We had a national client that said they
were leaving our product to develop a new .NET solution with another

They returned after 1.5 years and after spending $2.1M. They started
asking us for enhancements again. Ouch.
I'm figure throwing away a working system *may* work, but most likely
it's an expensive lesson to someone.
SOMEBODY got fired for that one!!!! I used to work for a global
tutoring company with a similar story. Going on 8 years after I left,
they still haven't replaced the application I stabilized and improved.
And I mean that very literally--it's the EXACT SAME VERSION as when I
left in July 2010. NEVER UPDATED SINCE. I'm proud of the fact that
despite their efforts to replace my app, it's still used globally. :-)
