Actually, using a commercial framework can make using Visual FoxPro easier! As we all know learning how to use Visual FoxPro is a daunting task and takes a good deal of time to become proficient. By using a commercial framework you learn how to be productive faster. Frameworks are implemented to be successful. They carry out the majority of necessary steps to create an application. I am making the assumption that the developer has experience in developing data driven applications. They are not for the novice!

To learn VFP well enough to create your own application framework and applications takes a great deal of time.
