I like Martin's reply best of all: they goofed on the visual designers in Winforms (they should have asked the VFP team, who had learned how to do it right <s> -- that's my take on it), as they did on other area where they did not have deep experience (think: data handling). And except for those few things and some others, as the song goes, everything's going great!
