I agree, Ajit. While there is a lot I like about Foxpro, it can be very frustrating to go back to those tools that haven't been upgraded in a long time. Greg Green's additional tools have great potential, but there is a steep learning curve in getting them to work and use them efficiently. When I work on Foxpro, I often copy large parts of form and visual class code over to PRG files or use a converter to make the entire thing a text file so I can edit in vscode with Matt's syntax extensions. It just feels better to me looking at and navigating large blocks of code in vscode vs. the FoxPro editor.

True.
There are many modern features lacking in VFP's Project Manager and its editor. I tried VSCode with MattSlay's foxpro extension. I also tried Greg Green's external VFP editors. For both of the above, I keep coming back to VFP's Project Manager and its editors for some reason or other - and it is a hassle.
Currently, I am using Jim Nelson's Finder (installed through Thor).

However the fact that I have to skip back to VFP all the time to edit
code that is in visual classes always makes me eventually go back to just using the VFP editor.
