And they are right, aren't they? I would put VFP in the same Camp with PB, and Perhaps Delphi... they have a cult size following that is not growing.

Perhaps a letter writting campaign is in order to Gartner Group... perhaps we can send them some case studies, large stuff that has been done for some large companies... I know there is alot of stuff out there. I also know, that most consultants [groups]don't get paid to write Case Studies, but they get paid to write code.... so, this could be a problem.
