Each year, I work with a few teams that are basically doing the same thing: Rewriting old web apps to use React.
The old apps use ASP NET Web Forms, JSP, jQuery, Cold Fusion, Perl, etc.
Often, the requirements are simple: “Make it work like the old one.”
This might seem silly. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?
But there are good reasons:
🚫 They’re having a hard time hiring and keeping good help.
🚫 It’s harder for them to add new modern features compared to modern technology.
🚫 The old tech isn’t actively supported.
