- It wasn't a rewrite
- Together has been providing refactorings for years for a variety of
languages
- By switching to Together's refactorings we have a more robust
refactoring framework and around 3x the number of refactorings we had
before
- One of the primary responsibilities of our Together group is
providing this refactoring service for a variety of languages that can
be plugged into our IDE
- It was far more cost effective to use existing, mature Borland
technology than to write another version of it
- Borland determined this was the best way to provide more refactorings
for Delphi and C# while freeing up the Delphi IDE team to work on
things OTHER than refactoring

How many more do you want? The biggest justification: Borland decided
this was the best way to provide this solution for DeXter.
