But the more user friendly it is the lesser controls you have!! For example, try having a non-rectangular window in
VB. May be you have to put in more efforts while designing interface in C/C++, but you get better control. Any guesses why Tally is made on C++?

(Although I admit that some parts in their interface sucks :roll
But for someone who is new to programming, I would recommend
VB. It will be easier to get hold of the concepts through something which is as simple as
VB. Later switch over to C/C++. You better first learn swimming in a pool and then swim in an ocean

BTW, there is also gambas under GNU/Linux which would let GNU/Linux users have a taste of ease of
VB. Have a look at
