Not my experience. I would second his proposition that VB6 was great at what it was doing. It just worked.
- coliveira 18y agoThe advantage of UNIX is that you can make things in your way. For example, you can decide to use your own editor, instead of the IDE of the jour. There are many languages to choose from (python, perl, php, C++), so you can go with the one you are most comfortable. Also, since you are not depending on one vendor, you can use the same tools for a longer time -- no need to change to the latest visual studio, for example. So, UNIX is complex, but change is more incremental than when using Windows/Mac OS X SDKs.
