My point is that there is no point in changing if you have a working
setup. Changing requires
1 Finding out just what IS necessary to switch
2 Planning the cutover
3 Planning the recovery if it fails
4 Spending time learning another product.
Doubtless there are other things, but I make the point: staying with a
working setup requires no extra work whereas changing does require extra
work; quite a bit if your business depends on getting it right.
You'd need to be sure that the benefits will outweigh the costs and risks
before embarking on the move.
