Again, I think you missed my point about the fallacy of the "either-or", I know developers who make $$$ making mobile apps. But they also make money on .NET apps, database apps, etc. I'm not saying that the VFP vs .NET/SQL was a purely "either-or", as I went through periods where I made money off both.....but the flaw of the "either-or" logic is even bigger with .NET and mobile apps. Yes, I know MS isn't a serious player in the mobile app space right now, but that doesn't mean there aren't developers out there with multiple calling cards. I know for a fact there are.

>Goldman Sachs recently confirmed that US users spend 60% of online time in a mobile app, 30% on a desktop/notepad and less than 10% in mobile web, which ought to be a warning to Microsofties who insist that web apps are the future. Not one to say "told you so" but I did. ;-) And I'm seeing a tsunami of B&M retailers and others promoting their apps rather than website now. However, look at this: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/19/technology/publishers-straddle-the-apple-google-app-web-divide.html?_r=0 : web may still be a better option for some sorts of offering.

60% on mobile apps- can you be more specific? I think these numbers might be misleading, re: your attempted point, but I'd like to know what makes up that 60% and how they surveyed to come up with those numbers.
