Maybe too easy, because every Tom, Dick and Harry suddenly called themselves "programmers". This VB6 app I am maintaining just doesn't want to die, but it's a royal pain to maintain. It's been through about 10 programmers over the years - spaghetti code galore, held together by pure luck! Also no easy way to navigate the code to find things. More modern IDE's sure have come a long way. :-) > IMO Basic still is a fine language, for certain tasks. It sure was popular in its day.
