It remains my belief that VFP is *not* getting the attention on the GUI and other 1-/2-tier aspects of the platform which will continue to make it viable for the small/medium business market. It remains my belief that the continued insubstantial improvements to the VFP documentation contribute to its difficult learning curve and its too frequent trying/trashing by many programmers.
