Hello Lucio,
>The question is: "Is this the answer to Geoff's prayers?"
 It depends if Geoff's prayer is "please can I have a simple
 application framework please"

 It's the IDE that makes the difference.
 VB writes all the form layout files for you. You can write them by
 hand which is probably what tk feels like (which is a guess on my
 part as I've never programmed in it just read various papers)

 
 I found VB's main weaknesses (aside from it's platform dependence) to be it's
 lack of in-built support for things like TCP connections and
 regular expressions and that's what lead to my rediscovery
 of unix like systems.
