indeed, VB isn't piece of shit. It is a very decent programming language in which you can do lots of (advanced) things. Don't let VB-haters tell you that VB isn't good.
Of course VC++ can do some more things because it is more advanced. But because of that, it is also more difficult to learn.
But almost all things can be done in VB, including plugins and even writing big advanced programs.
hey programmers!
