Not really... keep in mind that EVERY language/tool eventually dies. Im just choosing the latest one. It is also Bill Gates personal favourite (basic) so I'm also tipping it won't die while he is still alive no matter what. But I must admit the learning curve for .net was stepper than I expected. I admit I love VFP but it IS dead and the world is moving on. I still need to work so I need to have the skills that people want.
