>The "Decline of VFP" thread is true I admit.

Agreement that VFP is going down the tubes?

>It's the decline of the Users using it and its marketshare. Who to blame?

This is the point of this thread. Not to blame people, but to see why using VFP is beneficial or not beneficial.

>Now the situation is alarming because we already invested huge resources including time only to know that MS is not interested in marketing it outside the VFP fold. Now, how we react to the situation is different, some stays with just whinning but doing nothing; some are possitively taking advantage of the situation in learning another language.

To react positively, one must learn a new language? Is that the only alternative?

>IMO, learning another one language is an added weapon in our arsenal so that we will not be insecured again in the future. Whatever happens with our favorite tool, we can go on with our exciting career.

Should a favorite tool go at all? If it is a favtorite - why should it go or "Decline".

Thanks Jess. I hope more people can contribute here.
