Being able to develop a compact, modern-looking GUI based client/server app going against an SQL DBMS that will run identically on Windoze and Linux, and being able to wrap it up in a small executable (using the awesome Freewrap) that is easy to distribute. And, oh yeah, the people on the newsgroups seem to be very helpful and friendly so far. . . . [I]t is incredible. Talk about a VB killer AND a great scripting language all rolled into one."
