all those arguments could be put towards VB too and no real programmer likes that one...


I beg to differ there my friend. VB is a great language for certain things like Database programming.  I use it alot for my Web business and store Point-of-Sale systems.

I would not dream of coding a 3D game (although is is quite ease to do) in VB or any program that need extreme speed.

Any program that is event driven is a good candadate for VB.  By events I am not talking about HW interrupts but Keyboard/mouse types where nothing happens until the user presses a key or clicks a button.

VB is great for quick and dirty programs/utilities that can be developed in a few minutes to a couple of hours.

I am a professional Engineer & Programmer working for the DOD in flight simulation.

I code in C/C++, FORTRAN, ASM, VC++ & VB.

They all have there place and their strengths.
But saying no REAL programer likes VB is pure BULL!
