I will probably get to this sometime for point by point analysis, but, just not having to rewrite thousands of lines of vfp into a totally new language is sort of obvious for starters...

If there is any sense to bolting Fox to a web service - leveraging existing functionality is it - I agree 100%. Nonetheless, you are talking about an extremely small % of Fox developers who will do this in a production setting.
Granted - the evidence is anecdotal - but there is nothing out there to refute it. Whenever a discussion occurs here about who is actively doing this sort of work - you don't get much in the way of a response.

With that in mind - you can begin to understand why web services in Fox does not have broad appeal and therefore - will not be of interest to Fox magazines who must aim at the heart of the bell curve - the mainstream Fox developer who writes relatively mono-lithic apps to local data.
