As you said SQL server more data-centric from VFP. If the most important thing is that I don't use VFP.

The most important thing in VFP for me "developer productivity". VFP much and more flexbly and easy from others. Errors and code lines more and more clearly.

A few samples:

-overloaded classes in other languages. :)) . I don't need that but other programmers (non VFP programmers) can't imagine that.

-command window, run my project part by part without make an .EXE
