Several points

1. VB is also aimed at developers.
2. The fact that it is perceived that VB is easier to use and can be learned
quickly can only be an advantage for VB. This is why one of the big focal
points of VFP 6 has been on making it easier to use.
3. VB owns 80% of the rad tool's market. Somehow, 80% if the developers out
there are not casual users. This only goes to support point one above.


Finally, if VB is that easy to use, could you code an app today in VB? My contention is that learning syntax is one thing. Being able to architect and write an app is quite another.

A good developer is a good developer - regardless of language.

Sorry Bob, while you may *feel* your position is solid, it really has no basis in fact. If you have ever written anything in VB, you *may* have a basis to comment. If you have not, then it is just pure speculation.

I suggest you check out the VB enviroment be discounting it out of hand...
