What does a "new version" buy you? What are you missing, besides
that "new version smell"?
Ed, if someone wanted you to take your existing app from VFP into
python,
would you still cry foul for VFP?
It's not a matter of crying foul for VFP; it's a question of
pointless migration. If the VFP app did everything they need, but
they decided to invest the money to upgrade it to Dabo so that it
would do exactly the same thing that the VFP version could do, then
yes, I would call that very, very stupid. If there was a legitimate
business need, such as the ability to work cross-platform natively,
then no, it would make sense.
I'm asking you what is the business need that requires the
migration. "Running on the newest version" doesn't mean jack.
