This is why those of us who have invested in VFP applications shouldn't be bothered by any of this. Think of all the features and functionality we can add to our existing VFP apps (frameworks) over another 10? And then, around the time we need it, we'll have some tool like this to give us a bridge into whatever latest-and-greatest dev tools are out there at the time, which we pretty much can assume will be better - and possibly different then what's hot today. Maybe OOP will be obsolete by then? This reasoning works best for people with investments in VFP products. Employees and contactors are feeling the pinch in the job market, it seems, but I think the market for talent will never get to the point where a capable programmer wouldn't be able to find something to do.
