Well one aspect to consider is, keeping a bunch of staff tied into using some proprietary internally developed tools could also be isolating those staff from gaining any experience with current tools out there in the market and in use by many/most future employers. I am stuck in a situation like this myself, where any chance to get a new job will rely on me learning new development tools in my own time on my home PC, then trying to convince somebody that this is the same as workplace experience with the tools.
Out of consideration of your staff and their career development, they should be able to at least keep up with knowledge and preferably hands on experience of real world tools. Of course, some employers don't give a toss about such things.
