Apparently, they are far from Redmond as well. :-) You raise a fair
question, if it is still worthwhile. IMHO if you are going to take the time
to learn a language it would be wisest to learn a Microsoft language.
Microsoft languages are used in a vast array of modern applications, so that
if you learn a Microsoft language your expertise is valuable in many more
circumstances than it would be with a proprietary language that works only
with a single, aging application. ESRI appears to agree, given the direction
their newer products are taking.
Regards to all,
Dimitri
