I know it played a huge role. I know from trying to push Ada at the time. I had a working VB like environment (Gnavi, which gwindows and gnatcom are part) including Active X controls and time after time I couldn't get people to even consider it based on that alone. Some were familiar with OO in some of the scripting languages and so could deal with out having a Class like notation, but not having Object.Method made everything look clunky to them.
Yes, thy were not enlightened folk, they were trench Applications developers, but they are the majority....
This time around we'll get em'
