If you say so. I've programmed in many /current/ languages
(and OS's) and consciously decided on VB6 for my
personal diddling. It is simply more productive (for me)
and I don't regret the decision at all. Slight regret I didn't
go with .NET, but oh well.

For client-GUI programming: "what is better"

Is there a free package that does Voice Recognition?
Is it blazing fast with graphics?
Can the grid fields handle 30,000 plus entries?

My assumption is that Linux has no Dev. Env.
that comes close to Visual studio / VB6, or
even C++ for that matter.

If so, I'd check out links.
