Obviously we have different perspectives, not only about FoxPro,
but maybe about life too. I think FP language have evolved
(and changed) a lot since Ashton Tate days, and IMO this is very good. Of
course it implies having new learning curves, but hey, there is
always a price to pay. I don't see anything wrong about develogin
applications that work with FPD or FPW, but i wouldn't recomend anyone
to continue developing the same way with a tool like VFP.
Gee Marc 10 years is an eternity in software industry this
days. I'm sure it will continue evolving, just hope changes
make FoxPro a more consistent programming language.

Sounds like a dinosaur mood to me :)
