Xojo is amazing and there are tons of commercial plugins to do stuff Multiplatform. Yea its not free but I don't mind paying to make life easy.

Eh. VB6 was paid too. IIRC it used to be on the order of $600 to get the standalone version.

I downloaded Xojo and kicked the tires. It was absolutely cool to see that an environment like this lives on. It really does feel like a successor to VB6.
