He had to learn new technology every four years, and seeing code which runs pretty much unchanged for 16 years must have been too much of a cultural shock for him... and he probably realized how much time he wasted learning things just in time to make a couple of years of living on them before they go out of fashion.

I think , he doesnt know any news from VFP Improvements :(
and also if a software lives since 1992 and no need to change something , this is the evidence that VFP is good developer tool :)
