Add me to that need to know. The best comprehensive approach for multiple operating systems, in or out of the cloud, client or server side, with integrated sql, graphic drag and drop, code behind development environment. All for someone with a low tolerance for steep learning curves :)

To some extent that was behind the path Visual Basic was on for a while, except VBscript never became universal, nor did any Basic version get any attention by OS, which I found strange considering that a Basic interpreter came built in on the earlier MACs. Also MS never really followed through with ACCESS either to the web nor the OS versions of Office. I’ve learned enough about JavaScript, pascal, php, postscript, C, Python, SQL, etc. to solve issues at hand, and promptly forgotten with “at hand” resolved, so I really don’t know them.

I’d LOVE to find find a language and development environment where VB left off, with easy internet grabs, file management and drag-drop form and report builders. Cloud based would make it especially appealing.
