He could have been a little more diplomatic, but he has a very valid point.

Why purchase/learn a framework for an obsolete environment in order to do a major upgrade (upgrade to an obsolete environment)?

Want to take time to learn a framework? Learn something current. Develop with a current UI on a (one or more) current platform(s) using a current database.

>>>I'm planning on a "last hurrah" for a 17 year old product that is basically FPW2.6, even though I'm using VFP9. The plan is to make one last major upgrade, bringing the app into the 21st century with a better UI. I've taken a brief look at CodeMine, MereMortals, and ProMatrix. Of the three ProMatrix seems to be the only product with something of a user community, training videos, current updates, and a free version to play around with.
