I can go along with this to a point, however, a person who knows how to
program well can produce a perfectly good program using VB (assume, of course,
that your definition of "perfectly good" doesn't exclude anything produced
with a Microsoft tool :-)    ) have it do its job well.   A person who doesn't
know how to program well can also produce a perfectly bad program using
assembly.
