This is RAPIDLY changing.  Python is easily a better language for
rapid business development than VB and it's getting a HUGE following
in the windows developer community as well as the Linux dev community
specifically for that reason.  Additionally several GUI tools for
rapid building are coming around too.  

Actually, VB isn't so much a good language as it is a good development 
environment for programmers with no programming skill.  This is
needed, and coming for Linux very soon.
