Having Intellisense is a huge time saver and definately worth the cost of the upgrade. FoxPro's intellisense is unlike any other in that you can customize it which adds even more to your productiveness. You can add all kinds of features, such as typing HDR and having it enter 20 lines of comments at the beginning of a new program.

I know a lot of people who have to maintain 6.0 and 7.0 apps. What they usually do is write everything in 7.0 and then go back and compile it in 6.0 when needed. Once you have intellisense, you can't give it up!
