Visual Basic is still probably *THE* fastest way to get a UI up and
running.
Click-drag-click-drag-fill in some boilerplate-done.
Yea, it makes non-programmers think they can program. I've also seen
such interfaces create bloat an order of magnitude higher than
hand-coding the same thing in another language.
Ayup. But it also allows non-programmers to get something done. It's a
tradeoff.
The fault is not with the *tool*. It's with the idiots who can't see
that there is a difference between slapping out a quick VB hack and a
well-thought out UI.
This holds for both the workers *and* the managers.
The major downside to it - it's M$ (see previous posts about IP,
patents, and licensing, not to mention portability).
Ayup.
