This brings back fond memories... For those interested, someone has been working on a "Visual Basic for Linux" called Gambas (Gambas Almost Means BASic): https://gambas.sourceforge.net/en/main.html

That's been around for quite a while.

Oh my, I've never heard about gambas. It is just what I was looking for! I always get stupid ideas about simple UI based applications in my day to day linux usage, but everything I've tried is very cumbersome.

I installed and tried Gambas and it does have the VB6 feeling. A complied graphical Hello World was a matter of 5 clicks and `lblHello.Text = "Hello World!"`

I'll do a lot with this. Thanks again!
