That's not invective, it's just observable fact. I doubt that RS could be bothered getting into all the nastiness anyway, since he's sufficiently confident in his choices that he doesn't feel a need to constantly provoke others.

thanks, Tracy - it is also a 5 or 6 year old argument. I wonder if VFP's web capabilities have advanced in that time as compared to other technologies?

I do remember Claude's spirited defense of VFP for the Web.

I also don't remember a lot of people who tried it being convinced, but again, I don't follow VFP/web stuff very closely other than working with AFP a bit when F1 sold it. It felt kludgy to me, but that was probably my web skills rather than the product.
