Denis,

There is a big, gaping hole in your comments...

So, in those cases where VFP is NOT that tool, you are out of the bidding, correct? With another tool in your toolkit, you have a chance to get that job or contract, so how can that argument be bogus?

In fact, I'd say that in MANY cases, having multiple tools in your toolkit will open you up to contracts where multiple tools are required. (VFP and SQL Server, VFP and .NET, VFP and ASP.NET Web development, VFP legacy code and COM+ dll's, VFP and HTML, VFP and XML, VFP and Terminal Services or Citrix, VFP and Crystal Reports, VFP9 and SQL Reporting Services, etc, etc...)

Don't ever stop learning unless you plan to retire soon. :-)
