> Visual Basic pioneered the concept of making it easy to code GUI programs. The problem was that it was not viewed as a professional tool and was much more geared toward business app developers and not commercial C programmers IMO nothing came close to Visual Basic from that era. It really was a GUI builder IDE all in one. It would enforce a event based style of coding a decade before the coming of Flash. I still think HTML5 has not recaptured that (VB and Flash).
