>So, especially for those who have worked in the VFP environment, are you as productive, or less/more productive in the .Net environment?

If you are doing n-tier design, either will be a productive once you get over the learning curve and build class libraries for common items.

If you are creating database apps with form controls bound to database fields, then VFP will be faster to create the initial app. I would say in the medium to long run the n-tier app will be easier to understand, maintain, upsize and extend though.

>Given a project that could be equally well done in either environment, which would you pick?

At this point, I would pick .NET since I need to keep up some skills from recent advanced training.
