There is no single language that is superior in all things. VFP does some tings better than .Net and .Net does some things better than VFP. Pick any language and subsitute for VFP/.Net.

There is no reason in your mind. But in the minds of the people that own VFP, there is good reason.


>Believe me when I say that I am defiantly not in denial. I have been working with xBased languages for over 23 years now and have been working with C, C++, MASM, FORTRAN, VB, VB.Net and a handful of other languages all along the way so with me, change isn't the issue either. I agree that VFP is viewed as a dead language by the market and perhaps you are right that may be Craig's issue as well. I doubt it though. I'm guessing that he believes that the .Net languages are superior to VFP. The thing that sticks in my craw is that I don't see anything wrong with VFP as a language and it irks me that I have one less tool to work with now and for no reason.
