" I have yet to run into anything I can't do with VFP and third party tools" ... I can: Get meaningful support. Outside of this illustrious group and a small collection of like-minded sites out there, there is virtually nothing out there of any depth. This is not a slam against VFP. I really wish it was different, but it has become a niche product that is slowly fading from relevance because it is not supported. Again, this is not a slam. I respect the community here and the product itself, but it's exceedingly difficult to find user communities, and for me, that was enough to push me to a different language where I could actually get help.

I don't know about weird, but I do know about Customers. I still maintain programs written over the years some going back to Foxpro For Dos. If a program works in the first place the only reason to move to a new program is to make it prettier.. When I read all the posts that Foxpro Is dead the only thing that comes to my mind is Microsoft's need for greed. I have yet to run into anything I can't do with VFP and third party tools.
