Yes, I would agree. Dabo was impressive . . .

And when you consider the fact that two guys can create powerful
visual tools like the ones in Dabo (ask some of the folks who were at
my session at FoxForward if they'd agree to that assessment) in their
spare time, doesn't that say an awful lot about the power of the
language? While we're certainly not at the level of polish that the
VFP tools are at, we have a completely functional class designer
(with either sizers or absolute positioning), code editors with
syntax coloring, code folding and Intellisense, database connection
designers that work with 4 separate backend SQL databases, a powerful
multi-banded report designer with PDF output, a built-in database
engine for local file-based data storage, etc...
Imagine if we could get just one or two more people interested
enough to contribute...
