Add me to the group that thinks IntelliSense is worth the price of admission. I know I get more code and better code written in the same time because I don't have to stop and look up parameters, nor do I have to think about formatting.

In addition, VFP 7 has a lot of little things that add up. The team really went through the list of ER's and implemented quite a few. For instance, STRTRAN(), ASORT() and ASCAN() can all be case-insensitive now. Grid headers have a WordWrap property. Grids have a RowColChange property that tells you, in BeforeRowColChange and AfterRowColChange, what changed. You can drill down into containers in the FD and CD by CTRL-Clicking. The new Document View makes it easy to navigate within code.

That's just a subset. There's tons of stuff in there. Hope I hit on a few things that are of interest to you.
