This may be better posted on a Pg advocacy list, but anyway...

Problems with FoxPro:
1. It corrupts itself frequently.  Table indexes, database indexes,
memory files, all tend to get corrupted.
2. Stupid, arbitrary limits on things like string lengths.
3. It's an ancient, dying system that few people know very well.

The first reason will probably be the most important to your customers.
  People don't like having to call the computer guy every week or two
when an index gets currupted.

Good luck,
Jeremy
