That’s true if you didn’t use Visual C++ and its forms. They were click to edit and worked on a lookup table that was maintained by the wizard. But when things go wrong they are hard to debug.

Visual C++ and MFC were much better than raw Win32 API programming in this regard but they were still worlds more effort than VB. Honestly I still don't know of a development environment to this day which gives the same level of "just git 'er done" for hacking up small disposable applications.

  Delphi or C++ Builder if you wanted to stay in C/C++ world. Nowadays there is also Lazarus. Though none of them are as seamless as VB but then again, they are more powerful as languages, so you get some and lose some.
