I take it you've never used Visual C++, it can do all the things you talk about and a *lot* more, sure it costs $250, but that isn't *really* that much, and a student edition only costs $99. if your going to be distributing your apps in a big way, an extra $150 isn't going to seem like much.
C++ coding is a joy in vc++ (well as much of a joy as C++ can be compared to java)

I don't know what kind of ad rotation this page has, but I reloaded the page twice and got the same IBM "a lot of stuff is hagning on your network... blabla" add, with this weird "swosh swosh" sound, then the IBM TV add song.
