At the risk of severe flaming :
I am basically (no pun intended) a programmer at heart.
I like to program.
On the QL, programming is fun because yoy know how to get close to the
hardware - if you want to - and people are available to give advice, code
help etc.
On the PC, I use Delphi and/or C++Builder and they are similar to EasyPtr in
that they are drag and drop programming - but you still have to add in your
own code to do the actual job in hand, and again, there are newsgroups to
help out.
I like programming both, but overall, and for ease of programming, the PC
does have a slight lead :o(
Of course, the advantage on the QL is that I CAN program in assembler if I
choose, while on the PC, I can't. (I can almost hear Marcel saying "why not
?" - the answer is I never learned because of the old style segmented
architecture of the older processors and the thought of all that does put me
off !)
(Ducks and runs !)
Norman.

Personally, I don't agree. I prefer programming on the QL.
