Don't feel bad - I use a number of languages at different times, and while I like VFP, it just isn't the right tool for the job, or at least some part of the job, an awful lot of the time. And I do actively develop single applications using multiple languages.
I build speakers in my spare time, but I'm a hopeless idiot when it comes to woodworking. I hire someone to do the cabinentmaking and veneering for me - I trust myself with screwdrivers and soldering irons, but not with hammers and saws. I'd be really scared if I hired a carpenter to build a cabinent for me and the only tool he showed up with was a 6lb sledgehammer...
