>>I believe those who still think of VFP as their tool of choice for new development are either a few remaining experts who have great tools, lots of experience in business analysis and a client base that provides steady work or they are developers who lack sufficient skills in any other development platform, who may still be struggling with VFP, and need all the help they can get.

Also there may be a few whose customers see value in apps that can be xcoped to machines including employees' own machines and will just run without massive libraries or complexity, and/or who are waiting for the killer dev tool for mobile. There will be a killer dev tool for mobile. It'll run on both OS and will automagically handle intermittent connectivity/caching locally. It'll be as accessible as FP was when it came out. Considering that some phones have more memory than my first hard drive when I began with FP this seems inevitable. Meantime with any luck we won't see everything condense to just one OS as happened on the PC so we won't see such a period of stagnation, meaning we won't have to wait for a total displacement to push the creaking incumbent out of the way next time.
"... 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
