Python is so darned universal too! It can be run virtually anywhere!
(Web, Server, desktop, handheld; Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix) If you can
imagine a need, someone has probably already done something similar and
has posted an open sourced application.
I'm going to throw in REALbasic into the ring too. (Web, Server,
desktop; Windows, Mac, Linux) I've tried it and the learning curve isn't
too bad. But if you thought that VFP programmers gave M$ a hard time,
geeze! You should hear the RB programmers about Real Software! (RB is
neither open source nor free, btw.)

Is that a good alternative? If not, or if there's better, what?
Ed says Dabo aint it. Anyone thinking along similar lines?
A non-Windows alternative to VFP? Dabo is most definitely it! Well,
actually, Dabo runs great on Windows, too.
Dabo is no better at web apps than VFP is. It really isn't designed
for that, because there are no shortage of web application servers out
there. But with a little work (mainly creating a class to persist
state), Dabo *could* be adapted to the web. We just aren't focusing
there, but as it's open source, anyone who was so motivated could
certainly do this.
