My company is switching to VPM for application development,my boss has been using it for a while and he says it's great, and the applications he's come up with do look pretty good, although I haven't had a chance to test them extensively. Anyway I've read part of the manual, and my boss gave me a quick tour.
My main concern is about how solid a product this is. For what I've seen so far, the developer interface is flaky, a wrong step and it will just throw you back into VFP, or give you repetitive error messages, because of simple things, like using the command window and typing a command with a syntax error, or while looking at class code I hit F3 to repeat a search, got an error message about Activeform not being defined and got thrown out into windows 95, no wait I had to kill it through Ctrl-Alt-Delete, wheter the key was remapped by VPM or not is not the point, I didn't find it's way of handling errors too...graceful?.
Anyway I don't mean to throw dirt on a product so soon, I suppose once you learn to cope with it it'll work like a charm, so my question is to anybody that's been using it, is it worth it?, how customizable is it?. I've never been a "Wizard" person, I feel left out, so my mind is resisting the change, any comments would be appreciated
