I agree that is the case in some situations, but you say it as if that's always true, and that's simply not true. Diff languages are better (or worse) suited for diff things, therefore impacting quality, no matter how good your developers are.

More like "if you're insane" you'll use Assembly (stupid pedantic nit pick: not "Assembler"). That's like cleaning the floor using a toothbrush.

I can't speak to how much better it might be to re-host, but even I admit if I'm PGmusic, I'm probably kicking that can down the road as long as reasonably possible. In fact, based on my admittedly limited knowledge of Delphi, I see little point in upgrading. It's not like BIAB was written in BASIC.
