Hi Jos,
I agree with you that VFP is a great tool. I have been lucky enough to move around a little bit and find companies still using VFP. It is much more difficult in the US now to find companies using VFP as compared to Visual Basic, C, and/or .NET. I worked for a government contractor and they were basically being forced out of using VFP. Basically, the government department they were doing work for said you need to use VB and that was mainly because down the road if they had to switch to a new contractor it would be easier to find a contractor with VB experience than one with VFP experience. It's sad but certainly tools that are widely used and get all of the hype are often chosen just because they are popular. Over the past couple years I have certainly seen more and more .NET jobs pop up and to stay employed I am learning some .NET. I still enjoy VFP and wish more people would use it but I have to be realistic.
