>What is VFP to you? How would you categorize it?

I use it as my primary structuring tool in any given solution. I may or may not use it as a front-end (though I generally do), and at some point use SQL Server as a back end, but Visual FoxPro will continue to provide the core object-oriented structure of most systems that I write until I find a better object-oriented solution to take its place.

>What would you say are your primary reasons for using the product? What does it do best?

I'm currently using it because VFP provides all three tiers in a package that can be distributed to independent PCs. Its strengths include object-orientation and data manipulation. Its weaknesses include terrible array manipulation (sorry, I'm a former Clipperhead) and weak variable typing.
