sorry tb, but I completely agree with CR in this case...

I started playing with qbasic when I was about 6/7 years old. After that I did a bit of VB and last year I followed an university course c++ datastructures during schooltime.

Of course I liked c++ a LOT immediately, because you learn to program 'the basics'. I learnt a lot during that course and think I'm a quite good c++ programmer now. Still I made some of my plugins with VB, just because it goes faster for me (GUI creating, standard functions, etc). And best of all, they still work fine!
So I don't see the reason why I should make small programs with c++ instead of vb when I can make them faster with vb.

And to my opinion the programming itself isn't the most important task in creating an application, the designing of the program is. And for the design it doesn't matter a lot in which language you want to write a program, it'll all comes down to the same thing more or less...
