>With Android followed by Apple in control of the mobile arena that most market experts now agree is the future for front ends, selecting a MS tool for new development today seems more like a HABIT than a response to the market. Some might consider it smart to STAY PRODUCTIVE in whatever tool is currently in use, staying in maintenance mode as long as possible until the market sorts itself out. You quoted the word "moron": who is the "moron" if they volunteer for the expense and effort of new development in 2011 if it turns out that their important market segments are indeed accelerating in a different direction? All the nastiness leveled at VFP people over the years applies equally to the moron in this case.

I wander How do you call people who swayed by M$ marketing decided to rewrite their cash-cow / LOB apps to NET 1.1
as early as 2003-2004 ? Since word 'Moron' is apparently reserved for those who thought and decided otherwise, does this means
those early adopters were... uhmm... Smart ?

Or we just search for another unreserved word ? {g}
