I was just curious how the community would react on the news. And yes I feel a mix of being amused AND being amazed about the reactions. As it seems that the ones who want to stick with VFP at any price, I thought it would be a good thing to open the discussion a bit but it's clear that some people (like you) don't appreciate and think that it's only to tease or have fun ...

The point is the arrogance and ignorance you display in thinking that people who are still using VFP are somehow ignorant and not as oh-so-clever as you who moved to something else years ago but somehow can't really leave the VFP world behind.

Many developers here have been developing software for many years, have learnt many different dev tools, have worked on many different o/s platforms, are very intelligent and understand perfectly well that the world changes and have often moved with new technologies. It is arrogant to think that they don't know what they are doing. Perhaps they know very well what they are doing and are making choices based on more than just the latest hype that comes out of the MS marketing machine. Do you know how many developers have built successful business' using VFP even to this day, some of whom are on this forum should you choose to see that.
