    Legacy applications already on VFP are a good candidate. If you plan to move to iOS and Android apps, VFP is not for you. Also, in future access to VFP programmers may be limited. You could use VFP as a powerful database tool. I know of many programmers who love to exploit the features of VFP to create easy to use applications.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Microsoft stopped selling this and stopped supporting it in 2014. It still works on Windows 10, but if you have a problem, you are on your own.
    • The look and feel of screens and displayed text is getting a little dated.
    • It's really designed for desktop/server environments rather than the cloud.

    Although MS has discontinued support of VFP there is a good community of programmers that are available for help. In fact we have several programmers at Apptread that are skilled not only in VFP but also .NET so that if there is a need to migrate some parts of applications to .NET , it is easy for us to do that.

    We are only using FoxPro because it is the only way to add custom plugins into the software we use to manage our stock. FoxPro is a semi-oriented object language and should clearly not be compared with recent technologies.

    Return on Investment
    Discontinued Products
    • Positive impact is that the value of FoxPro applications has continued to increase over the years, so we are in high demand for our services.
    • Negative impact is that sometimes you have difficult to support scenarios where you might have to spend many hours to just keep something functional.
    • A negative impact is that this language is taught in very few places, either in schools, or private learning centers.
