MFC, CLR, Managed?

How do you break a diehard MFC programmer of old tricks? We have a number of new projects slated for this year and I would feel comfortable sticking with MFC designed applications. Do you plan on moving to Windows Forms and dumping MFC? I NEED HELP! How long will MFC survive?

When developing for a particular market you will choose the right tool. Best regards, Paul.

Hmmm, I'd think MFC and WTL share the same market. Why do you think this isn't the case though? Just another wannabe code junky

My thought! MFC went for some market not really meant for it, but there was no alternative or rather programmers want easy and quick way. For instance many dialog-based applications are hardly justified in MFC. Now we have the C++ classes to do the job, WTL. As much as WTL is well designed, it will hardly find its way into the very large application domain. I am currently trying to move my company's ActiveX control-based engines and components to ATL/WTL from MFC. But will still knock IDE project in only MFC given the chance. ;P Will only touch Windows Forms in .NET projects. Best regards, Paul.
