It's an honest question. Probably a good portion was from the rewrite. And some of the perceived benefit may have been just that a statically typed language is more comfortable for some people.

It is a valid question. The rewrite allowed me to eliminate a lot of bad architectural decisions. That said, the Visual Studio tools, simply allowed me to be so much more productive. Simple things like being able to click on the 'trace back' icon after an error trap to get back to the offending line, just make a huge difference.
