>The problem we have today IMHO is that we have too many choices on how to do things and everybody thinks we should do things differently.
I see that as an opportunity, not a problem.
Those of us who chose Fox circa 1987 from the miriad alterntatives- actually, there were more then than there are now- made a satisfying and lucrative choice
I asked myself then, as I ask myself now, "Ten years from now, how will this direction look to you and your clients?"
During the mid 1980's I was convinced that THE answer would arrive and it did.
I had my Ah Hah moment when I was evaluting mainframe applications that started at $250K and someone showed me a DBASEII app that did all that the mainframe apps did and more, and cost $2500.
Then I discovered that Fox was even better, and off I went,

For desktop apps, .NET is surely THE answer but for web apps I haven't found that kind of certitude and probably won't for awhile.
Right now, I'm using .NET/SQL Server and PHP/Mysql.
Both are OK but neither gives a satisfactory answer to my question.
People are spending tens of millions of dollars on mediocre web apps.
That will change, as it always has, because the opportunity is huge.
