Visual Basic is a very good tool to develop, when Bill Gates made it, at first tiem, he had a future vision.

BUT

Today M$ thinks only obout Internet and VB6-7 has no great changes that make easyly for us, developers. VB has a lot of problems and it's not easy for us work, like find bugs, compatibility, create stand alone exes (with out dlls), etc.

Why should I need make XML, HTML, etc. if basic things like, create a cool toolbar menu, combo with pics, interaction with OS, APIs, etc. its a hard mission!
