At an AMIA meeting,a year ago, I was asked the essentially rhetorical question, "If the VA is getting rid of VistA because it is written in M, then why should anybody else be interested in it?" by docs who will admit to never having laid eyes on VistA. Apparently you have heard it, too. Makes you wonder where that question is coming from.
