Just wanted to ask that what you people think of PowerBasic. I personally used to hate it, but now as I got it again it seems rather interesting...

And how is it's speed?

Powerbasic is awesome if you can get over its terrible IDE.

... who can? name one person

Me :lol:
Well at least I found a way to change it's horrible(black and so on) colors to normal. Now that this is done it's a bit more bearable.

Powerbasic... Didn't I hear about that awhile ago, and how it had all these so-called 'features'?
Like having so that you had to capitalize certain commands and it didn't do it automatically like in QB? That's not too bad, but listing it as a feature... Then again, it could be another language I'm thinking about.

I don't have QB's IDE setup like default blue/white, I prefer black/grey.

I haven't used powerbasic in years but it is powerful(pun not intended) but due to its cost never really got to like it ;-)

PB is good. But I dont like it very much. QB rulez =P.

Powerbasic can generate 80386 code, supports 8086 inline assembly, has more data types, has a much MUCH better maths package...and has the worst IDE known to modern man. The IDE is what kills it. Price is irrelevant.

I'd take the PB IDE over the GW-BASIC "IDE" any day

I wouldn't have said it better
