Hi Craig. Well then, I guess I need to move to SLC. I heard it's beautiful there.

Continuing the thread, I'm not comparing user's of the tools (e.g. developers/programmers) or merits of the tools. I'm comparing the usage of the tools. We all read through countless threads about first two and I'm not about to continue on that road. But there's no denying that there are overall great many more opportunities for VB positions than VFP and I think this gap will widen in the future. This might be the outcome of heavier MS marketing of VB (another road I don't want to follow) but the fact remains.

>>Here's an excerpt from the DevX site:
>>
>>"You can do a few things to effect a higher salary, though. Staying on the cutting edge is important. In addition to Visual Basic, developers who know XML make more than those who know other languages. Similarly, if you understand ASP and do multitier development, you're likely to earn more than your peers. Sadly, expertise in Visual FoxPro or PowerBuilder won't be your ticket to financial success."

>>I'm not trying to bring back the "demise of VFP" thread (which I don't believe) but it's also consistant with what I see is happening in the job market, sadly.

>I've never seen salaries for Fox developers here in SLC as high as they are now. I can also show you articles from VBPJ that say the average VB programmer isn't very good. He's generally self-taught and has no concept of development life-cycle or writing maintainable code.
