It's a far cry from dragging in a button and then referencing it as a variable in code. Second, the graphical niceties of these platforms often run "in-proc…

VB was probably the charmingest language I’ve ever used, especially for GUI. It takes the cake for “rather complex runtime” though. As I recall, they bundled the entire VB interpreter into every executable. This seemed scandalous to me at the time.

I am waiting for someone to finally give me just a wysiwyg tool to make web pages and apps so I don't need to program anymore. I just want to make content, not make a machine to then make my content with. It's like building a wood cutting machine when I just want to be warm in the winter.
