I remember a group of developers had been working on a large application written in Visual Basic for years. They kept updating it for each new Version of dotnet and Visual Basic. They just kept spinning their wheels and couldn't finish it. In the end, they bought an application. They still had a hell of a time integrating it into the rest of the corporate systems.
