>>VFP9 HAS auto-indent and intellisense. The only thing it's missing (AFAIK) is the code folding, but since you go directly to the code block you need, you don't need to 'put the other code out of the way'

>>>Well ever since I've started to mess with some VB.NET code in the VS2005 IDE, I'm kinda liking the code folding feature, automatic indenting (not having to run VFP's beautify as a separate thing), intellisence (is somehow "nicer"), etc.
