>>Here's one reason that it's smarter - the clients want VS and don't want VFP.
Here's another - it's a lot more productive given Intellisense, compartively more seamless integration with SQL Server, and all the tools available.
Here's another - the rates are higher.
Here's another - I just feel stupid every time I hit the New Buttton on a VFP app as I did a few times today.
The context is that I'm not actually comparing, I'm saying that neither may be particularly relevant in the new mobile directions where Google and Apple are leading us. Smash VFP as much as you like and it won't change this.
"... 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
