>>You never have to worry about language updates
LOL. This advantage cannot be overstated! Especially now that VFP can be compiled into/with 32- or 64-bit C++ or ASM using any C++ MAKE from 7 to 14 last time I looked, to produce blazing quick apps that never can be Foxed by the vendor.
"... 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
