VB or Delphi

VB isn''t as bad as you all make it out to be. I mean really, you don''t think VB could be easy to use because it is made by Micro$oft (granat)? Hard to program in (amreshr)? Delphi is more original (TheSisko)? These are extremely lame reasons, folks. I''m not saying VB is the best language out there, or even how it compares to Delph; but come on, at least post reasonably valid responses and not this garbage. (This isn''t for all of you, you know who you are.)
It _IS_ possible to program well in VB, although a lot of people don''t because it doesn''t _make_ you. You just have to pay attention yourself rather than expect the IDE to hold your hand.
I personally don''t like Pascal (so I never bothered with Delphi); I use C/C++ for big things that need performance, and VB for when I want to make a window with pretty buttons.

As I already said, VB is BETTER for quickly designing something, it''s more appropiate for the ''home user''. Delphi can be used by people who really wanna earn money, cuz in the end, it has more ''things'' and better support. But for the common programmer, vb is better. I''m only usign delphi because my dad could get it for free at his work. Perhaps I would''ve gone with vb if this wouldn''t have happened.

I have never tried VB but I like Delphi (or C++ Builder) very much. It''s just so easy to create GUI programs.

I can''t for one second believe that VB (a Microsoft program) would be even half as easy to use. Even if it''s called visual.
But I could be wrong.

I''ve never used VB either, and I probably never will. Ergo, I refrain from commenting on it. Your post is no help at all.
