I've seen that, too, but most companies I've dealt with feel that  
it's a dead product because Microsoft is pushing nothing but .net.  
They don't want to gamble their future by choosing a tool that  
everyone else is ignoring.

Well, I didn't want to name names, but since you raised your hand.. 

Just kidding!  You didn't earn that top honor at FoxForward 2K6 because 
you suck!  ;-)

The funny part is, those developers actually can make money and look
like gods compared to the .Net people!

It has been like that for MANY places for some time now!  Developers who
don't deserve to be called developers wrote shitty code and the
stakeholders simply blamed it on the Fox.

At least that's my read on it for 90%+ of the situations I've seen.
