Dave (and Mike too),
I've gotten so used to having Intellisense available that when it isn't I think, "Well, if I were doing this in VFP...".
I work in a number of different environements besides VFP. PowerBuilder 6.5 (oh how I long for it), VBScript (I usually do the prototyping in VFP), FPW legacy apps (whenever I can, I try to write it in VFP)...Frankly, if given the choice, I wouldn't work in an environment that didn't have it. Then, that's just me...:-)
