I worked on Visual FoxPro 6 and then on Visual FoxPro 9 at my first part-time job while I was in college (2006-07). It was a pleasure to work with. My boss at time had a strong expertise in FoxPro for windows and FoxPro for DOS.
Honestly, Visual FoxPro with embedded database was quite powerful and productive. It was super easy to compile exe files and ship them directly to customers without breaking a sweat. I miss those times.
I wrote an auto-updater using VFP and PHP on the server side. It used compared local .exe version with the remote .exe version stored in a txt file and if there was an upgrade available it downloaded & replaced the local exe. I ended up getting a promotion for this :)
