It's poor business to rewrite an app for no reason. How many months will it take to rewrite these apps just to achieve the exact level of functionality they have now? What if the developer has no Objective-C experience at all (which, given the choice of MonoTouch, might be likely). What a massive waste of time and money for nothing.

On a forum full of developers, this attitude sort of disgusts me. Here are these poor developers having the rug pulled out from the under them but it doesn't matter because we're all replaceable cogs and someone will be there to take their place. That stinks.
