>I would say there are a LOT more jobs out there. Nobody here is looking for VFP programmers, Its all VB. Regardless of the quality of the language (They all have pluses and minuses), If the customers want to have their project done in VB, Well, they drive the market. It suprises me that Microsoft tells us VFP developers that VFP is not dead/dying or otherwise, but they are not telling our clients/future clients. Telling us that VFP is not dead is like preaching to the choir. If VFP is to stay alive, they need to start marketing it to our customers. I'm tired of trying to defend VFP, Its not my job. My job is to develop software and If VB is the language that the market wants, then I guess I better learn VB.

I feel your pain. :)

However, what a lot of folks say (and I believe) is that if you're a _good_ VFP programmer, you won't have trouble finding work, at least in major markets.

And when we do custom work, we have the option of telling our clients which development system will bring the app out quickest. They like to hear that.
