At least we agree on something. Look, if you disagree with 99% of what I say, but the 1% ends up leading to the same conclusion, does it matter???

FWIW, this one issue regarding new developers coming into, (or not coming as the case may be) into the fold is perhaps the most significant part of my argument...

While there are still Cobol systems out there, those systems will fade as their greying custodians retire and there is no new blood. I find it difficult to employ VFP staff, for example, compared to Java or Delphi. That's a concern and I suspect this is why some people are holding back to see how it pans out. So we have a deadly embrace- the future depends on sales, buyers are holding out till they see what the future holds.
