Yes, VB is perhaps good for inexperienced programmers or those who
just need to get something done quick and dirty.  Delphi is suited for
programmers of all levels who want to be highly productive using a
powerful, truly object-oriented language and at the same time have a
pleasant programming experience.

I prefer to avoid C++ as I find it far less readable and thus less
maintainable compared to Delphi code.   Debugging in Delphi is far
more pleasant than C++ as you don't have to worry about pointers
nearly as much.

I avoid VB because:
-it is object based rather than object oriented.
-to do anything really complex you often have to use another tool
whereas you can do pretty much anything using Delphi alone.
-VB error handling is an absolute joke compared to Delphi's structured
approach.
-VB encourages bad programing practices.

But have you ever used Delphi or C++ Builder?

Strange isn't it.  Hopefully Java and Kylix will give "Visual" C++ the
death it deserves.
