I think it's interesting that almost no one recommended VFP, and rightly so. For most situations, it seems that VFP is not the best choice for new developers, especially in a corporate environment. That doesn't leave VFP much of a prospect of growing its ranks. The likelihood of existing developers switching to VFP is probably less likely than any of us switching to another tool. I wonder how long it will be before VFP runs out of steam. Not too soon I hope. For now, I'll keep using the tool that works best for me.
