> Not to mention... developers developed VFP... but Jess seems to have no problem using it. So, why not use other tools, even thought they are developed in VFP.

I was actually going to take it that far myself, but decided I'd already made my point. Jess would probably say that MS is much less likely to go away than F1 or ProMatrix for example. I'm sure the same argument was made in discussing dBase add-ons in reference to Ashton Tate.

> As Matt said, we look at it this way... look at all the time we get for $300 by buying StoneField... we could never produce it for that. Even if we still spend a month customizing it, we are WAY ahead!

Actually, I think Jess is on record as being in favor of tools like Stonfield, xCase, etc., just not frameworks.
