LOL - ain't that the truth!
My question to George is: Did you use PB first or FP first?
VFP is a pain compared to many other platforms because it's so
'bitchy.' There are so many 'hidden' rules to doing things that it can
be a huge adjustment coming from other language.
I've seen PB in action, both development and completed app and I'm
impressed. BUT, it's only CS which is a major shortcoming for a smaller
project. (or a poor client) I have yet to see any widespread use of
Delphi, despite it's good reputation.
