I ported a FoxPro app to VFP in 2012. I had worked on the original one in DOS and ported it to FP for Windows around '96-97, so I knew the IDE's pretty well. But by that point I couldn't stand anything but Emacs. So I got xbase-mode (and patched it a bit), and just automated the project build.

There was 100+ screens so I had to do some bulk processing on those SPR's. But I used WebViews for any new stuff, and that was much better (though it was basically IE7).

Yeah I owe Rick Strahl so many beers for his blog.
