> Depends on how you define clever. If you look at the web stack (we are using SQL Server, C#, JSON, JQUERY, JavaScript and HTML 5), you can hardly argue that this is clever. There are SAAS products out the like Windev, Lianja,, Servoy that do all of it in a much more clever way. But for some reason we choose for 'more control' and not being trapped in a 'vendor lock-in'.

FoxInCloud also claims to do web apps in a clever way:

• full AJAX/SPA
  
• almost no HTML/CSS/JS to write,
  
• any VFP dev can get a Web app without Web dev knowledge,
  
• share 100% source code between desktop app and Web app
  
• only standard code on client side: all your business code RUNS ON THE SERVER
  
• competes in response time with MVC-style Web apps (tech stack similar to the one you mention)
  
• outstanding productivity: you can deploy thousands of controls and events in a matter of weeks
  
• responsive: automated Bootstrap-aware HTML/CSS/JS code generated from the VFP layout, albeit responsive
  
• scalable: absolutely no memory footprint depending on user count: server is completely stateless
  
• customizable at global, class or object level: HTML override, CSS override, JS override -- in files and/or right in VFP code
