wow a language flamewar? let me take part, vb6 simply sucks, vb7 has much more of a real programming language. that vb outperforms any of the available win32 c/c++ compilers? i doubt that *grin*
but writing an ide in vb maybe a good choice, cause you can really do that fast (here a click there a click finished.. j/k
) but concerning portability it's a bad choice...
writing the thing with fb is also not the best thing, cause you'd have to port the win32 api or mfc what wouldn't work cause of it's oo roots. (fb doesn't support linking c++ stuff cause of name mangling)
thus i'd prefer using c, either vc or mingw c , where mingw c is imho better, cause it's standard compliant, where vc really sucks ass sometimes. and if you know your math in c and you got a decent gui lib one's at least as fast as in vb...
my two cents...
