Actually that's what I use right now, its the best that's available with support but it is still a long way from GUI heaven. What I was looking for was something as sophisticated as Visual Basic. Say what you want, but when it comes to dropping in third party OCX components, nothing works like VB. The only problem with VB is that once you get past the wonderful visual design phase you are now stuck with a language that stinks to say the least. After spending close to 18 years coding in Ada nothing else comes close. But that doesn't mean I can't wish for an environment that rivals MS Visual Studio for Ada with all the bells and whistles.
