I've met a lot of 'experienced' .NET developers. I haven't met one I couldn't program under the table when developing a run of the mill windows application (me using VFP - them using whatever .NET incarnation they choose).

I know there are things in the .NET framework classes that are extremely handy and would require lots of work in VFP to duplicate (unless using eTechnologia .NET capability), but in the vast majority of windows programming tasks, VFP has the capability built in and reliable.
