I think that turning lead into gold is easier than compling vfp into .net ...You may well be right, in which case VFP people are no worse off. But if you're wrong, thousands or even hundreds of thousands of your fellow developers will benefit.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
