I believe he actually has a point, although I do not think it is more difficult, rather the opposite. However, I believe he may be talking about the .NET learning curve for VFP developers.
Strong typing is probably the single biggest diffrence between VFP and .NET. It requires a paradigm shift, while many other things in .NET are just more of the same (as in "I need to learn what the name of the method is that does X, but I already know what methods and objects are...").
You can find some information on the impact of strong typing at the following URL:
