Not true. Both products have their pros and cons. Either product can do anything the other can do. Here are just a few of the things to consider:
VFP does not support early binding, VB does.
VB does not support inheritance, VFP does.
VFP has more choices, power and speed in handling data and text.
VFP people are not always easy to find.
VFP does not support intellisence, VB does.
VB is the language of ASP.
I use both products, choosing the one that best suits the task.
