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. -- "The Computer made me do it."
