>You are right, Craig. I don't think they may have done any marketing research since 1994. I would say that the majority of the developers I know are just downright enthusiastic about Visual FoxPro and are serious developers out there on the front lines, contracting, or working somewhere as an employee for a mid-sized or large company. These developers are also aware of .NET and wonder, like I do, when we may have to leave FoxPro behind and move on to something like C#, or will FoxPro continue on in spite of our fears?
I can tell you what you've heard before.. Toledo is under development. Some features have been publically shown and I would expect others to be shown at DevCon.

>But, anyway, in regard to marketing, I think that ProMatrix has done well to have sold over 10,000 copies of their various products. However, I am concerned that Visual ProMatrix may not meet our needs of flexibility and the fact that we don't want to use their proprietary dictionary. We want to use SDT instead. I am beginning to think that ProMatrix is for developers who don't know much about Visual FoxPro and may need a crutch to get through its steep learning curve. Am I wrong?
I don't know enough about ProMatrix to comment on that.
