I know better than to complain to the Gates Monopoly. The
folks at Millennia do listen, so it's worth it! I like Legacy, even
though it may not always seem that way. I think overall it's better
than FTM, but there are some things FTM does do better.
Also, my understanding is that Legacy is not written in VBA for
Access or any other Access programming system, but is written
in something else that has libraries that are compataible with Access
data structures to the extent that it's a simple matter of changing the
extension on a Legacy file to have it be read by Access.

Yes, I know. I wasn't too thrilled about the way it was handled
then either.

Yes, I too got tired of FTM's money grubbing, though they did come
out with patches from time to time that were free when there was a
serious bug to be fixed.
