Boy, was I smart. At some point on my previous job (where we used VPM), I was asked, as guru-in-charge, for an opinion on whether to move to next version of VPM, or to complete the development of the in-house framework. I decided it would require the equal amount of work, and at least in the latter case we'd be in control, and could do whatever we wanted. So it was (only the company went bust in the meantime, because they did the majority of development in VB+ASP+SQL+JS+VBS, which took far longer than the investors' patience lasted).
