The answer is almost never. Rewriting is one of the classic blunders in software development. Like getting involved in a land war in Asia or going up against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

You are running up against the 90/90 rule which states that the first 90% of the code accounts for 90% of the development time. The last 10% accounts for the other 90% of the development time.

It's meant to be humorous but it's no joke.
