Have you even attempted to learn .NET ? There is a lot there to like. Do you use SQL Server for a backend? I don't question the validity of your emotions and I love Foxpro and wish MS had made my life easier by insisting everyone write everything in Foxpro, but the more I learn .NET ( and the more they improve the platform ) the more I like it.
The real point is - you are talking about employment in the IT industry. I have been self-employed for 25 years so it isn't much of an issue for me, but if I thought there was any chance I'd need to look for a job in the last 5 or next 20 years I'd be expanding my skillset waaaay beyound VFP just as fast as I could.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
