It seems that a lot of us are really pleased to hear about efforts to bring some of VFP's data handling to dotNET, especially in view of ferocious denials from certain quarters that any such improvement is necessary.
Once it happens, I think you can expect increased acceptance from a far wider pool than just VFP. JMHO.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
