All the VB fans I know have not experienced Delphi. They just don't know what they are missing. I am sure there are people who actually chose VB, but not any one I know. When I marvelled at VB myself, it was back when I myself was unaware of Delphi/C++ Builder. I used to think C++ programming on Windows had to be with VC++ and MFC and VB was the only sane choice for most of my apps. When I first tried Delphi, it only took me a couple of hours to realize that I will never use VB again.
