It did park VFP in its tracks.
I know that visual Studio got better each version presented to the public. Not only the M$ bits but the secondary tool vendors who enhanced those bits kept getting better and better with their offerings.
M$ put our free versions for you to download and use. They didn't include the big shop functionality but no problem. You got an IDE that could do Win Forms, Web Forms, Web Services, and over time it delivered a lot of the greatness for HTML5, CSS, jQuery all still at no cost to you.
C'mon, Stephen, don't be a buzzkill. We're still having fun with the Toilet.Net joke. <bg>
You are right though...as DotNet matured, vendor tools supporting it got better as well....as expected.
