I wish they could have made a VFP.NET!!! I kinda see why but still it would have been nice to leverage all the .net niceties and retain great local data abilities and a language that is less obtuse than C# or VB! But unless someone has big enough pockets to buy VFP and do that to it it aint gonna happen!

VFP might be great, but not many are hiring for it, and less and less each year most likely! Good things eventually end...and hopefully get replaced by good/better stuff.
