The problem is that the resulting application is still VFP code. I don't know about other developers, but my motivation to convert my VFP app to .NET web-based is to make it more marketable. That is, either to sell to another company/developer or let the customer take over the support. And having the app in the "modern" and supported code (such as C#) is a more welcoming thing for young/younger developers or companies that may want to take over support.
In itself the VFP application, even in a Windows form, does a very good job. It is only - again in my case - for the future of the program that I would look in converting it to a language such as .NET/Python.
