You just have to get rid of the words "visual basic". It has a terrible reputation by the thousands of people who have never used it but like to parrot things they have read online.

Ok, testing with a different headline now to see the response:

I tried it but the hacker news crowd seems to respond more to Visual Basic 6 (see the link I attached). I guess outside of Hacker News people think more of RAD. Thanks for your input :)

I'm sure the hacker news crowd leans more to web apps and mac/*nix. The first headline never mentions "windows".

Ok, thanks, that makes sense as I am a Mac and Linux user myself. I only use Windows as Mac and Linux is virtually non existent in the desktop corporate world in Europe
