No you didn't -- you asked me exactly what he is saying. Read your own message (see above). If you're after my opinion, then reread my first post on this subject.

VFP was an example of such a development environment.

Relevant to what? I thought the points I outlined were reasonably fair. You try to bring in material (as innuendo, no examples given) written, maybe 10 years ago, as somehow reflecting on a subject matter pertinent to today.

He's not pitting one language against another but stating a general consensus.

Considering I've been posting VFP mentions for at least 7 or 8 years, excitement isn't a word that comes to mind. Thanks for proving my point!
