This always reminds me of an old joke I usually tell when someone asks me "why just Fox, why not (Clipper, Cobol, C+-, Delphi, VB, Access, Whatever)". It's about a couple who went to vacation to Venice, and upon return, after being asked how did they like the city, said "City? We never needed to go to the city - we've had everything in the camp: shops, movie, market, beach, restaurants...".
Fox was exactly that camp to me for years (and the camp is just getting bigger all the time), I practically never had to look for anything beyond it. It has it all.
