I am more of a Delphi/Lazarus guy myself, but can anybody who is actually considering using this compare it against Gambas, RAD Basic, Xojo, ...?

Apparently it is fully compatible with vb6 (as also radbasic says they are). I never tried but long time ago I ported a slew of vb6 apps to Xojo (realbasic at the time) and that was not hard but it was definitely work and not fully compatible. I would use Xojo still though as it’s very mature and I trust them being around in a while.

Xojo works and has a full time team working on it. It's not perfect but does the trick for me.

How long since you've used Xojo?

Over 15 years ago for sure.
