Obviously I'm not Craig or Bo, so this is just my personal opinion (for what it's worth), but my impression the project exists is for these two reasons:
1) To extend the functionality of the VFP IDE and offer we developers more functionality than the VFP9 IDE offers.. Because what we have is already excellent, it's hard to think what more VFP Studio could offer. Having worked a lot in the VS.NET IDE though, there are a few features I'd love to see in the VFP9 IDE. In other words, the more time you spend in a different IDE than VFP, the easier it is to envision what problems VFP Studio might be attempting to address. Also realize that several fantastic VFPX projects were created to enhance the VFP IDE experience, so clearly people are finding limitations of the current VFP IDE and are attempting to address them. I would see VFP Studio as attempting to do the same exact thing in a more controlled and integrated solution. 2) To exist as a VFP IDE alternative in the event that (for whatever reason) we developers are no longer able to run the original VFP9 IDE. Given that free Virtual Machine technology exists today, this point is far less necessary than it once was, although still plausible for people who may not want to run a VM just to do VFP development. That's my opinion, Craig and Bo may have totally different answers! -Steve At 03:24 PM 04/21/2010, you wrote: >Rick Schummer wrote: > > Again, this is probably more of a PR problem than a technical > problem at the > > moment.
