    REALbasic

    Have you guys heard of REALbasic? It's cross-platform development for Mac, Windows and Linux. It compiles to native x86 and PowerPC machine code, and supports inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces, delegates, introspection. You can port your VB app to REALbasic and create a Mac and Windows version (and Linux if you want it) with just one mouse click.

    Many people have heard of it, and like all languages it has good points and bad points.

    Thanks for the link! It certainly sounds like it's worth checking out. And it's similar to VB so doesn't seem like too much of a learning curve.

    REALbasic dropped their prices this week for Pro, the version you need for cross-platform, to $299. Is Pro really worth it? I used Personal at the moment. The upgrade price from Personal to Pro seems worth it.

    If you just think about compiling, then you should have a Mac & Linux test machines anyway so you can just get the regular license for both Windows and Mac for a cheaper price (Linux license is free). If you need the other features too then Pro is probably worth it.
