>I don't know if that's the most useful way to think of it. Is VB.NET really a second rate pill that should be swallowed after our regular medicine is discontinued?

Does it make sense that the things we love in VFP would not be present in VB.NET, or on the way, or already there in superior form? We need to respond to all this rationally, not emotionally.
