I don't use MSDN help, I google what I'm looking for and zero in on the answer. Much quicker and much less frustration than playing "where do I find what I'm looking for in this MSDN maze".
We have a development shop here with 20+ developers all of whom are skilled in vfp and about half in .net. Our development times in either language are nearly the same. I guess it depends on the skill level of your development team and the architects desigining the system.
