I started off in C, couldn't get a damn sample program to compile, and gave up programming altogether until I started playing with QB.
(as for your dreams, check out Quest for a King at http://powerusr.sphosting.com/ for my engine. It gets 60FPS on a 233. Perhaps not the greatest feat ever achieved by human hands, but it *is* pure QB.)
I stick with QB because it's fun and easy to program in. C-alikes can't really say that about themselves. In spite of everything, I can still pick up code from 2 or 3 years ago in QB and understand it, but the same code in C usually has me scratching my head. Just the nature of the syntax.
