>Well thought out post. Let me put my spin on it: In my experience, people don't look at VB as an enterprise solution. Maybe for a simple front-end for simple data entry or reporting, but not brute force processing and critical DP. I think the quality of VB programmers has degraded over time and there are a lot of VB developers out there won't can't see out of the VB box.

I've been doing interviews the last few weeks at school (graduate in may - anyone need a fresh outta college VFP guy?). Anytime any of teh interviewers starts talking about how they use VB for this and that, I tell them how much better VFP is, and how I can't go back to VB.

most kinda look at me funny, when I say I don't WANT to do VB..but then heck, I love POSIX C :^)
