FFF / Karl -
Obviously, I can't speak for Robert, but, I was at SWFox 2019 Conference myself, and I saw Robert in at least 2 other sessions related to VFP and .Net/C# integration (presented by Doug Hennig and Rick Strahl). I think Robert was able to see from the speaker's interactions with the session attendees that indeed, many FoxPro people *do* already have a good bit of familiarity with .Net, C#, and Visual Studio (myself included for over 10 years vs 25 years with FoxPro). Many VFP people there are like me (VFP + .Net). It is no big leap to learn .Net (any of them) or Visual Studio.
I like Chris, he is smart, but I do not want to take a dependency on his one-man-developer XIDE (no offense Chris). I want a full, robust, .Net focused IDE, and that is Visual Studio, hands down.
