I as a Visual Basic programmer I agree.  To ignore any one one completely 
is like sticking one's head in the sand.  I am learning DELPHI and I will 
continue to use Visual Basic as well.  There are things that VB does real 
well and the same is true for DELPHI.  I also see the merits of keeping 
up my knowledge of XBase languages also.  I wish VO would be a friendlier 
environment than it is.  There are some really neat features in the old 
Clipper product which both VB and DELPHI could really use.  FoxPro and 
Visual Dbase may be better as far as XBase is concerned.  I admit I have 
stayed away from C and C++, I don't like the cryptic command structure 
preffering a more English like language.  I've got my hands full with the 
languages I am now using.  The mix of tools I do have can make up for 
insufficiency in that area.
