>>I don't care that somebody has different opinions than me... I just can't stand when people take the "My way is better than your's" approach while including phrases like ".NET folks up here don't get it". Not everybody needs change tracking or NULL dates or a local database engine.

>No, you're right. Not everyone needs it. And that is fine, but then please don't tell everyone that every VFP application can be easily written in .NET. And that is what the message is from the .NET side. Again, you're limiting your options by restricting yourself to a limited technology.


Are you seriously calling .NET a "limited technology"? Wow. If you had said it is more complex to learn than VFP I might have agreed with you. Or that it doesn't have a local database engine, for those dwindling few who still want that. But limited? Hardly.

Maybe you meant .NET only supports Windows. That's a valid point. It's also valid to say ~85% of PCs are running Windows. That's a limitation I have no problem accepting. If I were targeting a Curly, Moe, and Larry OS I would be concerned.
