May the Lord save us from such a beast :-)

I would suggest to use Python as your programming language, and Boa
Constructor as IDE. Boa allows GUI construction in a similar way as
VB, it is still in development but it seems to be quite stable.
You could also have a look at PythonCard as an IDE, but I don't
really know much about that one.

Advantages: cross-platform GUI program construction in a nice
language.

Python:
http://www.python.org/ or
http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePython/)
Boa Constructor:
http://boa-constructor.sourceforge.net/
PythonCard:
http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/

Just my 2 cents,
Wald

There are a couple I know of;
Google for XBasic, Envelope, RapidQ.

XBasic is stable and actively fixed/enhanced
Envelope and RapidQ are no longer being developed, but are stable and
powerful enough for most.

Boa Constructor & PythonCard both use/need the wxPython GUI toolkit.
(Win9x users: use the wxPython version without Unicode support if Boa
crashes at startup.)
 
Search for Rapidq. It has basic features done, but is still a work in
progress. Actually, work has been stopped for 2+ years.
