Stubborn Foxers labeled unwilling to learn

Apr 23

Posted by Tod McKenna in In The News

From the article “Microsoft Working to Broaden Reach of Its Development Tools“, over at Computerworld Development, Soma Somasegar, corporate vice president of the developer unit, spoke with Computerworld last week. Apparently Visual FoxPro developers are idiots who don’t want to go out and learn new things. While reality shows that Visual FoxPro developers are incredibly versatile, willing to adapt and learn new technologies, and quite capable of doing so. This guy Soma is insulting the Fox community, in my opinion. This is what he had to say:

It’s hard to hear that you have to go and learn something else. Some of these transitions have been smooth, others not so smooth. We want to be mindful that when transitions occur, there is a good reason and real customer benefit to them.

As if we’re being stubborn because we don’t want to learn. We’re being stubborn because Visual FoxPro is an awesome tool and many of us have built a career around it. We are stubborn because it will be even more difficult to sell a project in VFP. Soma needs a reality check.
