>>>At one time, I worked on product that used Pervasive database. We couldn't sell the software because IT departments had never heard of Pervasive and had no idea how to support/backup/maintain it. We moved to SQL Server. If you're selling a product, why risk the sale?

>VFP is not a database, it is an application development environment typically needing no special "support/backup/management." The point you make was more applicable back in the day when people used dbfs rather than connecting to SQL Server or MySQL or whatever. What I see in 2015 is that there's no contemporary product that can be simply xcopied to a machine or run successfully over a network as easily as it used to be back in the Delphi/VFP/VB days.
WinDev does that just as easy as VFP, easier actually.
