Maybe we need another thread...
You can't blame people for have this view of BASIC - I mean, it's called BASIC. Which implies that it's easy. But what I don't understand is that why people think easy things can do less. Like coding HTML and HTML WYSIWYG editors. Everyone thinks coding HTML is better, and although it CAN do more, it's not at all a practical choice for a beginner.
I think one reason is to bascially show off. No pro wants to be caught using a simple language.
And I'm sure every thing I said was covered in the last 200-something posts.
