IDE never mattered to me in the whole issue of the language. It was the libraries and lack of the requirement of low-level commands that made me like QuickBASIC, and the only real programming language that I was ever decent at. FreeBASIC lacks libraries like Future.library - it's more like C, explaining why I wasn't as good at it. Hell, I don't even bother with compiled applications anymore. I've moved on the PHP editing it with gVim and Dreamweaver. The language is rather simple, works at a high level, and uses a web browser as a crutch so I don't have to worry about setting up buffers and all these things to do rather simple things.
FreeBASIC, despite it not really being my cup of tea, is the best successor I've seen.
