So what if your customers take exception to the fact that certain
functionality of your app is written in a specific language, or uses a
specific technology, even if this is totally transparent to them? Do
you bow to their concerns and re-invent the wheel even though it
doesn't make much business sense to do so?


If they want to pay for it. Sure.

OTOH, I haven't heard anyone here say they wanted to pay extra
for Delphi, just so DevCo can rewrite those already working features.
All I hear is that they want Delphi to cost less. <shrug>
