Based on the idea that an unpopular language is reason for a low rate, as I have in the past had to rebut the argument that Foxpro/VFP "was not as popular as Java or SQL," then its growing popularity in fact SHOULD be reason for better rates. After all, since VFP *contains* SQL and is object-oriented like Java, shouldn't we get TWICE the rate?

Make that threefold - the text merge is characterized (at least in the Hacker's Guide) as another sublanguage within Fox. Plus the data manipulation language, which actually comes as both xBase and SQL version of it... that's four :).
