Yet, a true blockbuster app has never been produced in RB. Why is that? Maybe because of its cross-platform nature? Maybe because of its lack of tools for development teams? For whatever reason, it hasn't been done.

Name a blockbuster application produced with VB.Net.

Bzzzt.

I have no idea. I don't track .net (or anything Windows) at all. The only thing I can say is that to-date, none have been produced in RB. To me, as an RB user, that is (somewhat) significant.

I don't want to continue to blow it out of proportion, but it does have an underlying statement, and probably adds a certain validation to the multitude of RB nay-sayers. You know... "RB applications are junk." If there were a single shining example, then some of that would go away, and maybe some additional serious developers would become interested in what it can do. Until then, I don't think it is even on the radar.
