>To recap: Woodie effectively described another person's experience as a "myth" and attributed "near religious zeal" as a motivating power for people making such claims.


No, I didn't. If you must disparage me at least be accurate. Let's recap my quote: "Agreed but that goes against the myth of DotNet taking much longer to develop in than VFP which is defended with a near religious zeal."

Here, myth is referring to the general sentiment held by what seems to be the majority of the VFP faithful, not targeting any individual or their experiences.

My "myth" statement reflects the trend that most people I see saying it takes longer to do X in C# than it does VFP are presenting a weighted argument. If you have used VFP for 10 years and DotNet for 6 months of course you can work faster in VFP. IF you have used both platforms to the point where you have a roughly equal knowledge base in both then one tool is not remarkably faster than the other to turn out an application with. At least for me this is the case.

I hope that cleared it up for you.
