I think pretty much any Language is a pain to write GUIs in, a single property dialogue in photoshop is ~6k loc in C++...

Pascal (Delphi, Lazarus) and Visual Basic are exact counter examples. They demonstrate how easy and convenient GUI development can be.

I really hope I'm wrong, but if you're talking about VB.NET, then my personal experience with it has been the exact opposite of easy and convenient.

Edit: Okay, good, VB.NET is probably not the Visual Basic you were talking about. Thanks for the history lesson!

Why would some ridiculous plug in API mean that every language is a pain to write GUIs in?
