Do poeple take C-like syntax as some 'be-all-end-all' solution to problems?

No, C++ is simply the most common language, and for a variety of reasons, an important tool for any programmer to know.

I get the feeling that you fols would not like VB even if it had ; and {}'s.

Of course not - syntax is irrelevant, a few braces would not stop VB from being crap.

- VBers only have to hit ENTER at the end of each line

- VBers don't have to play match the braces when they start to get into some deep nested situations. They have an 'END...' or a 'NEXT...' to help them

- VBers get a way better forms designer than C++ could ever hope for. (Everett not included here)


In other words, VBers are treated like idiots because they need all the help they can get ? END and NEXT are totally superfluous, anyone who can't figure out how to line up braces should start with Logo and build their way up to programming.
