Developers are well known (with some nervousness in some circle) as people who love to refactor old code (I do love to axe old stuff meself), but it's always obtuse management who come with "don't change what is working!
Why replace something that's not broken? That's a risk, often without benefits, just new bugs. Meaning more costs, not income.

Btw, can you fix bug 634523776 in that code?
That's what pays the bills, innit?

See... that's the thing, they ask us to change it, so it was broken!
I don't care about old ugly code.... until I am asked to make a "quick simple fix"!
After a few of those, when it starts to make sense, I am like f*** it, I am going to make my life easier, simplify all that fugly pasta code!
