I was recently asked to write a guest editorial for the VFUG Newsletter,
which I did. I lamented the fact that I was 99% out of VFP now and
living in a Linux world, described the tools I use now, whined a lot, etc..
I had a section where I said I couldn't move our database front end
(currently written in Access) to VFP because of various issues, one of
which is quoted below.
Some guy emails taking issue with one of my comments:
"Great idea having a guest editorial, but does anyone read it before it goes
out ?
I haven't got a problem that Matt has moved to Linux, but was somewhat
disappointed that he includes the following in his editorial piece.
(quote)
"And lastly, I can't in good conscience recommend that we go that
direction (VFP)
with the specter of MS pulling the plug on VFP as a product.
It just wouldn't look too good for me to push VFP as a development
environment (as much as I'd like to), spend months or years making the data
front end better (and add all the features my users want), only to have MS
yank VFP off the market." (endquote)
Yuk, a lot of good work is being done to promote VFP, and this ancient
comment in your editorial is disappointing."
Not that I really give a rats ass, but is there something wrong with my
statement - especially since it's just my own opinion?
