I myself program in a variety of languages, and while each may have it's uses, I'm afraid I can't agree with your assessment. I generally use C++ over C most of the time, but I would certainly stick with C over VB (and yes, I do program in VB as well, when the occasion requires.). Just beacuse a language has an impressive GUI does not make it more valid. In fact, it can often increase the chances that a programmer is churning out code without truly understanding all that it's doing. Just my two cents, of course.
