How much faster, if at all, is Euphoria compared to Visual Basic 6.0?
Why should I use Euphoria and not Visual Basic?
Cause I think I'm gonna switch to Visual Basic if I don't get a good =
reason why not to.
How is graphics and game development supported with Visual Basic?

What bothers me about euphoria:

  a..  It doesn't have a good IDE with good debugging. It has trace, but =
it's very poor. For example, you can see only sequences that are small, =
if I have string "C:\Euphoria\DEMO\DOS32\STEREO.EX" I can only see =
"C:\Euphoria\D...", there's no way I can see the whole string.You should =
also be able to view nested sequences in a treeview.
  a.. It doesn't support structures.
  a.. It's not flexible enough (default argumens, atom a=3D2,...)
  a.. I don't know if sequences are such a good thing. They cause a lot =
of trouble and code gets messy if they get too complex. I think you can =
work normally with simple 1 dimensional arrays and structures.

This is all very logical if you know that only 1 person is developing =
euphoria. It should be more popular, developed by more people.
