That's because I'm confronted with it so often.

>Rather than try to defend FoxPro to your managment, why don't you go on the offensive. Ask them what they want to achieve with the introduction of a new development tool? It really isn't clear to me why your management would even consider moving to another platform.

They question FoxPro due to their perception of an "uncertain" future and don't want to invest in something that may not be around in 5 years time - that is what they "think".

It's not just management, it's colleagues too (from other teams).
