No, that would be a totally unfair characterization and I am surprised after all I have written that this is the conclusion you draw.

WinDev has been around for 20+ years (maybe 25+) and is used by very many developers and companies around the world. BUT if a company keeps adding new functionality, new features, new enhancements and growing the product then obviously there is the possibility that new bugs can be introduced. Is any software developed by anyone on this forum, software which is more than "hello world", 100% bug free?? And even if someone answers "yes" then if they modify that software to upgrade it, improve it, do they admit that those mods might introduce a new bug? If yes, then what is the problem here? WinDev is certainly not buggy - that is a statement without merit and I tell you this after having developed 20+ apps which are all in live, daily use and 4 websites. Some of our apps run 24/7, 365 days a year. None of which report any end-user issues barring our own mistakes or a rare WD error like this morning. And then I had a solution/workaround within 15 minutes of reading the help.

>My goals with Visual FreePro and Visual FreePro, Jr. were to create a new work built upon that foundation I strive / live for. It was a conscious choice, and it's why I pushed myself so hard. I wasn't doing it for other reasons, but for the one reason. I wound up getting so weak at one point I could not stand more than a few seconds. That really bad part lasted several days, and the just bad parts lasted a few months getting better each day. It has persisted since then (early 2015 until now), but it only re-impacts me periodically (a handful of times a year, only for a few days to a week here / there).

Sorry to hear of the health issues. One needs to pace oneself. I gave up the 18 hours days a long time ago, roughly when we dropped using VFP for primary development and switched to WinDev ;)
