Adapted MS words, now verbatim straight out of Wikipedia.

Yes VB easy to learn, there is not much to it and most is done for you. But to get to grips with real programming it is only the equivalent of showing a new driver how to hold the steering wheel whilst stationary. Programmers coded Visual Basic and they wouldn't have been able to do that with the knowledge gained from a VB equivalent. Horses for courses.
