I have to agree with you. I am a VB5 user and bought Visual C++ as I
thought it was about time I learnt a "propper" language. Quite frankly
I
wish I hadn't bothered. Visual C++ is not infact a visual language at
all. If you don't need one then I'm sure it's fine, but personally I'm
hooked on them.
VB is nice and easy and is capable of a wide range of things. It's a
little slow and clunky and produces nasty large files, but if you can
live
with that, then I'd recomend it.
Delphi looks marvelous from what I have learnt so far. I'm still only
on
day 3 of my 21 day learning curve however.
>From what reviews I've read Borlands new Visual C compiler (I forget
the
exact name) seems to be the way forward. With the Delphi Visual front
end
on it and both Delphi and C/C++ compilers, it offers true visual
programming and the power of C/C++. Anyone got it/tried it yet ?
