I only used VB5 in the late 90s, but yes, absolutely.
When I was doing GUI stuff in Java (Netbeans and eclipse) in the mid 2000s... yes, all the OO stuff was better but boy did I miss that interface designer that just worked.
- discreteevent 10y agoI remember a byte magazine article (maybe it was even on the cover) around the time of VB3 about how OO had failed in terms of what it had promised: re-use, productivity etc. But VB had more than succeeded on these fronts. Millions of programme were re-using these black box components. Not just the Microsoft ones. There was a big third party market as well. But it wasn't as sexy as OO. I think the article was wise enough to point out that it was OO but better than most implementations because of what it left out.
