>>I'll be damned if I can ever see being as productive in .NET for simple desktop apps as I am with the Fox. Being a small shop, .Net solves problems I don't have
We're a small shop too and our clients tend to be small, but more and more they need big-shop tools and we can find more of them in the .NET world.
6 months ago, I'd have agreed with you about VFP productivity but now that we've developed some .NET toolkits roughly equivalent to the ones we had for VFP and improved our skills I think we're more productive in .NET, if only because of intellisense.
We definitely write more lines of code with .NET, but we write them more quickly and accurately.
When I go back to VFP I really miss intellisense.

Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
