To my mind, it is a silly thing to imagine an application designed for a desktop should somehow be transferable to a smartphone or to a website and work/look the exact same. The models are different, the interface issues are different, the state management is different, the pros and cons of each platform is different, etc. It is not realistic, for example, even to imagine the same interface is appropriate to all platforms. And if I did want that ability then TSPlus/2X type tools do that for me instantly out of the box within minutes - no code change at all.

The links you provide are (1) a few years old, (2) not from PCSoft as far as I can tell. The YouTube video is of some product that you can presumably buy but I have not looked into it. I don't believe PCSoft ever claimed that a WinDev application can be instantly converted to a WebDev application. I have never seen such a claim myself from PCSoft.

What I do know is that WinDev, WebDev, and WinDev Mobile all use the same IDE interface (know one, know them all basically), the same application/project design philosophy, the same language syntax and commands, the same database, the same report designer, same query designer, etc. So PCSoft claim that if a developer designs their applications properly e.g. user interface + business layer + database then the database, queries, reports, code etc. is re-usable and shareable across all 3 platforms (with the proviso that some functions are obviously not applicable in all environments).

You keep wanting to make this discussion a fight between FiC and WinDev which I already have quite clearly pointed out I am not interested in. You sell FiC but I don't sell WinDev and have no interest in that. The original thread I got involved in was whether sticking with VFP for new projects was a good business decision even when combined with FiC. I don't think so. You do. The bottom line is this; if you go the FiC route you either stick with VFP (and the VFP IDE + command/function set plus 3rd party tools which I don't know will all be "adaptable" by FiC or even automatically work in a server/browser setup without modification) or you learn HTML/JS/CSS to modify/enhance your "adapted" VFP application. In the second scenario you are learning a new tool set. If a developer is going to learn a new tool set then they have many tool sets to choose from which are better than VFP today.
