Same here. However, I'm still pushing VFP in certain situations.

The idea that "...every application..." should be a Web app, in my mind is misguided. IMO, the reason behind this is ease of deployment. On the one hand, there are some reasons for this. On the other, the technolgy exists to make this a non-factor.

Ultimately, making every app a web app brings us back to the days of "Big Iron". Applications won't perform as well and the amount of maintenance increases exponentionally.
