I doubt this will change your mind, since it seems so made up.

Uh oh. Can't resist, can you? ;-)

One thing I can make my mind up about: developers who think they are going to "take a bath" on their cool new app are not necessarily the best business mentors. ;-)

Look, VFP has never been a first choice for graphics apps. I am not all surprised that C# would be used for this, though I am surprised to learn that existing 3-D rendering technology cannot annotate objects since I seem to remember doing that more than a decade ago. Whatever. I'm sure it is an amazing app. But who, in the VFP forum, do you suppose would advocate doing that with VFP? In over a decade, I've never seen such a suggestion. IMHO that's where these discussions go wrong. dotNET is allowed to be successful- and it can be successful without needing a swipe at any other tool. This is not a game of football with a single winner. It's a fun fair, with swings, roundabouts and shooting galleries at which everybody has a chance to win.
