Gary,

I'm just beginning to learn .NET so I might be something less than the best source of information. One great source is Kevin McNeish's .NET for Visual FoxPro Developers from Hentzenwerke Publishing.

My own observations are as follows.

The things I like about .NET are the tabbed documents for things like the Solution and Project Mangers.

By biggest dislike, as far as VB.NET is concerned, is the way you access say a form's event's. My particular problem is that the code is stuck in the form's code base, this applies even to something like a command button. IMV, this blurs the hierachial (sp?) line between what's what. VFP's method is more intuitive.
