Which you wouldn't have to contemplate if your predescessor had simply used the right tool for the right job, right? Such as not using an over-engineered framework for a problem that didn't need to use one. :)

I mean sure, but I wouldn't work at such places anyway. One cannot escape complexity, it's either in your code or in other people's code that you use. Don't overengineer, but not everything you'd think is overengineering is actually the case. Otherwise, just work in assembly.

It is also interesting that you haven't responded to the other comments that call out flaws in your argument, just mine, perhaps because you don't have an answer for them either, as your original comment is now dead.
