Visual FoxPro. By a long mile. I never need to install a package system, use VM, install a database engine or anything like that. Maybe the most was download some components from some site (I remenber was a large forum back them). Integrate REPL, form builder, report builder, rdbms, database builder, query builder, menu builder... ----- Second best was Delphi 3/7.

I used VFP for 10 years, from the insanely buggy original 3.0 release to the final "Sedna" edition. I miss the Command Window occasionally, but nothing else. Visual Studio at the time was something of a car crash, but it is a solid IDE now. And I never really used the 'builders', probably a) because they were so buggy in the original release and b) because I like to do things myself so I know what's going on.
