SQL Server is powerful. It would be needed for large multi-user projects. It is completely unnecessary for medium or smaller projects, and makes what should be a simple design unnecessarily complex requiring unnecessary skillsets and maintenance to do simple jobs.

.NET is a dangerous platform. I will never support it. I have looked at it.

Their day isn't over. Countless apps are still in use, actively being maintained, not being rewritten because Vfp is so powerful, small, easy to augment, expand.

You are a notably rude man, Mr. Kuhn. It is sad to see, and your comments are hurting people.
