My take on all this comes from a logical view of the world. There are ton's of examples of new products that cause total obsolesence of the previous version.

In particular, we are in an industry that is moving 90 miles an hour. There have been many highly qualified people who jumped off the IT bandwagon when they could afford to, and moved on with their lifes. There is a story that is linked to from UT's front page about the percentage of women as programmers decreasing significantly over the last couple years. Us men are expected to constantly study to keep up in this field, even to the detriment of family life. While women are standing up and saying that they can not give up as much personal time as this field demands.

We, as Foxpro developers, are specs on the landscape. You can already see that many folks are learning new technologies. Do you not see that many of the brighter, more advanced contributors are no longer present on the UT? What do you hope to accomplish by arguing with Ken Levy? It's been stated numerous times, VFP is marketed to existing VFP users. End of story! There is no attempt to increase marketshare. And never will be.
