>>I do, however, think that many are not moving on because of FUD - not toward Fox but the perception of .NET (and other technologies) that was so popular for so long here and elsewhere as many were very scared and trying to justify not leaving their comfort zone.
You could say the same about those who cling to NET as it becomes less and less relevant in the new mobile age. Earlier you asked about GDI Graphics and integration with OS: do you mean iOS or Android, since they're the ones that matter? IMHO a new-generation Fox Software will come up with a cross-platform FP2.x equivalent for mobile and developers will marvel at its simplicity.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
