Eddie,

>It appears to me that one of the biggest advantages to frameworks is that they help with the early stages of creating a new application for developers who develop many applications. I on the other hand am just working on a very few applications which will take years to finish. Am I wrong about fraweworks or do they offer me less advantages than others receive?

Depending on your level of experience with VFP, a good framework can dramatically cut your development time on those few applications from years down to something shorter. A good framework will also provide consistency between your various applications and give you a hand up over some of the hurdles of VFP's little quirks.
