Funnily enough I don't have any stress using clunky interfaces and mismatched GUIs. I get on and just get on and use something to get a job done.

As for applications something should not be rewritten if it does a job adequately. Recoding wastes time (which is better spent elsewhere) and puts a project in jeopardy.

Recoding stuff from scrach only makes sense when the current implementation is unworkable.

Customers simply don't care as long as something does the job for them and is delivered on time.

You can talk about nicely written code etc etc, but delivering something which works on time is what gets the bills paid. Sometimes you gotta bodge and hack to get stuff to work when time limits are tight.
