>Just my opinion, Vlad, but I think this was because it was DOS and not Windows. Programming stuff for Windows is just necessarily a lot more complex than straight DOS stuff, hence there will most likely be a lot of buggier code. I loved FPD 2.x myself!! I still have legacy FPD apps running that I may never bother upgrading to VFP.
I disagree with "necessarily". :) You may be right. I tend to believe (considering the code/programmers I've seen in the last 10 years) that the main reasons are:
- Programmers are required to produce much more in less time;
- Programmers take care much less of memory/processing waste;
- It's much easier today to say: "Sorry, this bug is a problem in Windows and not in my code." :)
- Almost all systems/applications are full of useless/fancy things/functionality. This was not the case with DOS applications.
- Generally, less quality is more and more accepted. (I am really amazed how some users can accept unacceptable bugs.)
