At least added features, but maybe less bugs.

It depends how long you'll have to maintain the applications and which
compiler you have to use. If you have a working application, then I don't
see any need to change it just to change it.
But if some day you need to enhance this application, you should probably
use a component family which support the current compiler and which may have
features making your application easier to implement.
