>A good part of the reason that the VFP board is so successful is that VFP has a strong community--stronger than any other language you're likely to use. People in this community are more willing to share knowlege and help others.

Completely agree. We have people here at my company that code some things in C++ and VB (just what's not easy or practical to wrote in VFP), and they always complain about the lack of support because they are accustomed to the VFP community. I participate also in some other developer groups, and in general the non-VFP people doesn't understand quite well how we work as a community.

I always thought that maybe the fact that being VFP so database (read bussiness) oriented, brings in a much homogeneous basis for us. You can't identify a clear type of application to most VB or VC++ developers.

Are we becoming a tribe? 8-)
