Quick thought: The longer you use old tools to glue old systems together, the less likely you'll be able to integrate or manage new problems. (There's a bit of a leap there, but not much.)
One of those variables needs to change over time for your operations to stay healthy. You stick to one toolset for a decade and you won't be able to hire anyone with less than a decade's experience in that toolset to manage it.
Which you may choose to do, for lots of reasons. But you're stuck in a decades-old toolset then. Do you have any idea what you can't do because of your current toolset?
