You made my point, thanks. We're talking speed and timespans, not absolutes like "no future" or "yes, a future". It's just a matter of how far does that future stretch.
Mind you, there are thousands of apps out there which still run in FPD. I still play BlockOut, which is now 21 years old. So, while you can't retrofit a V-tek into a Ford T, there are things you can still do with it - it would probably accept today's wheels, or LED backlights.
The apps won't stop working. VFP itself still works, and will work for years to come. It won't be able to follow the latest and greatest fads, but it's then more a matter whether you need them or not. And my bet is that VFP apps will still be out there when half of these fads fade away.
