I have seen so many rewrites and they always end up with the exact same program but with different problems. How many times I have heard: "We are going to rewrite it from scratch, but this time good...." and then fail yet again.
The key to good development is to choose what you want to do and then bend the code around it. Never bend the solution around the technology because some design pattern can't handle it! Say fuck you to the design pattern and solve the issue. It will freak out the code monkeys but who cares? Your product matters. the end-user matters, the support team matters.
