Harry,
the plugin issue you raised has its points -
however, I have done a test conversion (I dont use any plugins) I have
found 1 'killer' problem with my system.
Drag n Drop
this has changed drastically (from v2003 where I currently am) in v11 -
and all of my drag n drop stuff breaks.
However, repairing this is not a huge undertaking.

Other than that, and the one issue mentioned below (remove 3 lines of
code and everything is happy) my application runs under 4D V11.  This
is NOT a 4gb structure and 2 tb data file system; but it is not trivial
either.

In simple testing I have seen at least 2 really good reasons to move to
v11
1 - speed -
on the same hardware (ancient 1.6ghz G4) stand alone v11 starts and
executes process code SO FAST that a delay loop in my new process
wrapper caused system start to hang - as the wrapper was waiting for a
process to come into existence - not only had the process (being waited
on) come into existence - IT HAD COMPLETED execution - during a 5 tick
delay
repeat
  delay process(current process;5)
until (process_exists)
2 - selection  based list boxes - FINALLY !! "included forms" can
behave as the user expects.  double clicking to open/edit, while still
being able to select a line (or lines).

as far as your lead dev - I suspect that you might just be able to find
someone to help out (at least you posted to the right place).
