Not sure if it comes with a QA and EM, but if its not, I don't agree. No simple way to just open and analyse your data. Or even make changes to your schema if columns have deep dependencies on it.

One product we develop, has both an SQL-server and a VFP version, and I can tell you that throubleshooting the VFP version is an order of magnitude easier than the SQL server version (Nothing beats a USE, BROWSE FOR and modify the record or column of interest right away) even if you have the QA avialable.

And no, this does not have anything to do with experience or preference. We did not even discuss install issues and version control yet.
