>>Since you are big on open source, cross platform etc I'm kind of surprised you leap to the defense of VFP.

Not my intention to leap to the defense of anything- I was disappointed to see trickshots at a time when the whole market is moving in a different direction IMHO.

FWIW, IME newer languages can be very quick on multi-core machines. Running VFP on a 64bit machine adds another penalty- I can *see* a speed difference in one of our apps comparing a 1.8 XP machine to a 2.8 with 64bit OS. If all my customers used 64-bit workstations, that might be a consideration, but my expectation is that they'll go mobile long before they go 64bit, meaning that an issue that could have been extremely relevant (behavior on 64bit windows) isn't very interesting at all. I'd be much more interested to hear experiences about cross-platform options, which is what I think the OP was after as well.
"... 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
