Things like the way VFP works with local data, visual subclassing, customizing the IDE, and so many more things. There's a 5 year old video interivew I did on Channel 9 that shows some cool things in VFP 'still' not in Visual Studio. Notice how this video has been viewed over 287,000 times, which I think is in the top 1% of 3000 or so videos on Channel 9.
