>Not only that, but, from what I saw in the flash tutorials, the user interface of the IDE and finished forms look so 90s. 3-D textboxes and solid grey forms...WOW. Oh wait, you can use a style sheet so change that grey background colour to, oh I don't know, say yellow! Thats so much better.

I'm sure you can tweak the UI, but I really didn't spend that much time looking at the tutorial. Hey, I was impressed that they are actually whooing VFP developers.

I talked to Eevo Boom from Servoy regarding their licensing and he said that what they do for those wishing to avoid the cost of their licensing model is to make an estimate of what kind of revenue they will be generating based on their user-base and then determine a revenue sharing based on sales.

I can't say this thrilled me very much because the last thing I'm looking for is another partner... I've already got the IRS. I might follow through and send him some info just to see what kind of arrangement he's willing to make, but I don't think this sounds workable - no matter how good it is.

Incidentally, did I mention that they are cross-platform and you can take your finished desktop app and build it for web deployment and voila, you've got a web app. This was demonstrated in the tutorial. I don't think you can do that with VFP.

I think no matter what product you moved to, there will be trade offs. One thing for sure, I want the benefits of moving to outweigh the cost of not getting support for a darn good development tool.
