>>Exactly. You hear it with some frequency but it is misguided to blame FoxPro's demise on customers. Customers began drifting away from VFP for valid reasons. It's the obligation of the vendor to put out a product customers still want to buy, not of customers to blindly keep on buying. Once you peel off the emotional layer, this is just standard, rational consumer behavior.

IntelliSense was not a huge upgrade. It allowed to improve coding productivity, that's it; i.e. it did not affect functionality. I am coding in all versions from 6 to 9 (different clients) and while I feel myself more comfortable in 9 (or 8) I still can do about the same in 6.
