I agree with you- today my company is doing training in Philadelphia for 30 salespeople to focus on selling niche services provided by our VFP applications.
We also need to point out that VFP and SQL Server are not mutually exclusive. My company has used SQL Server with VFP since VFP first came out in August 1995. So we need to distinguish VFP development from VFP local tables- criticising local tables is a criticism of that architecture, not of the development tool. The real benefit of the local table stuff is that it provides a proven, unbuggy platform to manipulate data from wherever.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
