Never worked with Clipper but my first job was building a replacement bookkeeping system to sell to schools. The original was built up over 20 years and the only real reason it needed to be replaced was the market was moving to online payments. Connecting to these systems from inside a school environment was a logistical nightmare. I still recall being reminded about the raw performance that customers got out the original that couldn’t be replicated in a web environment. My standard reply was the reduction in data fix support calls in my version. Swings and roundabouts ;-p
