# Yes but there is another fact that must be considered.
# Systems like VB (and the likes) are much more *productive* .

That's pretty arguable. C/C++ has no shortage of integrated GUI/IDE 
available especially if your willing to fork out the same kind of books 
that you would need to for VB.

My 2 cents, I'm much more productive with Python and QT Builder as I 
am with VB and those aren't nearly as intergrated as VB's GUI/IDE. A 
language's productivity, I believe, rests on how high or low-level the 
language and its libraries are. Not just that though, productivity is 
also very much affected by the breadth of the libraries available.

Sure, GUI RAD solutions increase development in a very real way, but you 
can find an offering for just about every language out there these days.
