Those that bash BASIC & BASIC programmers are of the same ilk as those that
constantly claim "my computer is better than your computer."  Professional
developers may well have a favorite programming language, but the smarter
ones would never totally ignore _any_ other language simply based on some
immature and illogical bias grown out of ignorance.

Does the end user care what a program was written in?  I think not.  What's
important is how well that program does the job at hand.

BASIC has matured tremendously over the years.  Too bad some people do not.
