Quote:VB is for GUI applications, PB is for non-gfx applications, FB, is for Games/GFX intense stuff
I use VB for lots of non-GUI development: command-line utilities, DLLs, NT services, mid-tier logic (applications with a GUI VB6 front end and a middle-tier running under a Telnet/SSH server), CGI programs. Why the heck would I go use something like PB in the first place?

FB I can see some reason for, but 90% of my reasons there are hopes of portability that VB will never offer. But I freely admit I have no current interest in gaming and graphics (not much interest out there in graphical front-end MUDs/MOOs anymore, everything's twitch today), so I won't comment on that topic.

But VB gives me quick results, and besides that a rich library of components as as well raw source out there in the world (free and $$) I can reuse. I also don't have to worry that nobody else can maintain the stuff I leave behind.

He deems everything worthless unless it's somehow involved in making coffe Tongue

You don't like VB6, but it doesn't mean that it is bad. At all.
