Quote:I don't want to prolong this discussion. I do not doubt that there has been comercial systems made in qb moneo. What i meant was that i haven't seen anything of comercial quality from anyone in the qb community the last 6-7 years i've been here. Wether it's in qb, fb, c, c++ or anything else. My point being that no one gives a crap what language and compiler you use. Except nerds with too much time. Those who matter are the users, and they couldn't care less. I'm tired of these pointless qb vs c or qb vs fb or whatever discussion. Farking pointless. We have some of those in my univ classes, they argue with the lecturer about pointless things. Thinking that they seem smart or whatever. In reality they just look dumb. And they don't know as much as they think they do.I get your point, and, in general, I agree with you.
However, you say: "Those who matter are the users, and they couldn't care less". This depends. If the user is a medium or large company, they will be very interested in knowing and controlling what development language was used. If you offer a product written in QB or FB, it would be rejected immediately.
The user company either wants to have ownership of the source code, or at least an escrow agreement for custody of the code. The development language must be on the company's list of accepted languages, which, no matter how much we love QB or FB, would not be on such a list, for obvious reasons.
However, if you are a major, reputable software development company, then it's possible that you could sell an executable version of a product that you developed in QB or FB. But being this reputable company, you offer a warranty to the client company.
