Full agreement here on RealBasic, both it's pro's and also its cons. I just treat it as another tool in the developers arsenal and at multi platform it is certainly the best "one click multi compile" solution I have found.
I think all the comments regarding VFP and it's future bring into perspective the fact that being a "one horse" developer doesn't really hold credence any more now that there are so many platforms to develop on, hence diversity is king..... use the best tool for the job. I know lots of people, myself included, have lots of times spouted how "VFP can do anything". Yes it can, but sometimes it is a pain and in those circumstances it is only the persistence and ingenuity of the developer that make the product "do it". Far better to get the job done quickly and efficiently, regardless of the product used and move on to the next money paying project in my opinion. Yes, I could probably have done all the projects in my past using simply Access and VB but .. (a) Would I want to ... NO (b) Would I have even finished the first one yet... maybe not (c) Would I have enjoyed the experience.... definitely NOT! Life is to short to be stubborn and short sighted!
