FoxPro hasn’t exactly been on the bleeding edge of technology for some time.

I guess it depends what you need. For many here, VFP's cursor handling is the clincher. That hasn't changed visibly in over a decade. But compare that to the internal combustion engine. Once the basic priciples are established, the technology iterates, it doesn't re-invent. The wrapper has styles and featuresets that re-invent regularly and that's what customers focus on- they don't complain because their engine still uses timed explosions in cylinders. ;-) So while I agree that VFP's wrapper isn't the sexiest on the road, I'm very sure that the underlying engine is still fantastic. It is also extremely efficient in hardware and OS terms, which is more important than intellisense to millions of small business software purchasers out there. ;-)
