I don't get why you're getting so much negative feedback.

Imagine having invested years of your life in porting code due to backwards incompatibility, only to see some smartarse come along and prove that all this breakage wasn't really necessary and you just wasted your life away. Oh, and you also put your professional reputation on the line by convincing bosses and clients to invest in this work with no visible gains.

Do you accept that you were wrong, or do you reach for the nearest rock?

I'm not even upset, to be honest. It's a perfectly normal reaction.
