"How valuable you'll find HackCX really depends on the type of development you do. It isn't expensive ($50 per developer license) but if you build applications using frameworks and rarely spend time cleaning up or refactoring code, then it may not be something you need. But the moment you need to re-define a class or make changes under the hood, you'll wonder how you never lived without it."
- Andrew MacNeill, AKSEL (Advisor Guide to Microsoft Visual FoxPro - January 2006 issue)

"HackCX Professional v4 is one of those tools you wonder how you ever got along without. It not only makes it easy to find and change things inside your forms and class libraries, it also helps you see things you might otherwise miss. Highly recommended!"
- Rick Borup,  Information Technology Associates

"HackCX has been invaluable in keeping my applications up to date. I recently made a change to several of my fundamental vcx files. This, of course, rendered almost all my forms in several applications useless until I relinked and updated affected controls. Without HackCX, this would have been arduous, if not impossible! HackCX made it easy and painless! Thanks, Rick!"
- Bob Wilkes, Keystone Computer Services, Inc.

"The best use of HackCX was converting a project from my old framework (such as it was) to Codemine. It took about ten minutes to do a job I couldn't even think about how to start."
- Steve Herbin, SNH Computing Corporation
