Evan,

No offense intended, but I believe it's naive to think VFP's popularity is unrelated to the degree of support and improvement to the product. That is the crux of the reason why VFP marketing, or the lack therof, should be of concern to those who are invested in developing applications with VFP. That is precisely why it's a serious concern to me.
