RealBasic... Pshaaww!
If you are remotely linked to programming, or development you will know how excited people get when it comes to Microsoft Bashing. Almost everything that Microsoft does is supposed to 'flawed', 'bad', 'error-prone', and evil.

Well I had some of these guys talk me into trying out RealBasic, alternative to Visual Basic that I code in, and love. RealBasic applications can be run on Linux, Mac as well as Windows so I decided to gave it a whirl in case it brought me newer markets for my apps. I downloaded the trial and...

It crashes every 20 minutes, the database support is patchy, there is not even a good application to create a database. There's not enough documentation, and it doesn't even support intellisense.

Furthermore it inexplicably slows down my PC everytime I run it, and when I close it down I have to re-start my PC again. Visual Basic never does that.

I have always been a supporter of Microsoft and looks like there won't be a reason for me to change anytime soon.
