An experienced developer in DotNet can turn out the same app in roughly the same time as you can in VFP and more often than not have it much more error free.

That's partly true. But there are some areas where VFP does things better. There are some apps where it makes sense to rely on persistent local datasets that automatically span to disk, for example. 4 years after this was observed and was roundly slated by people who choose to address others as you do ;-) MS is promoting SSCE to serve this need. Why do you suppose that is?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
