The Pros are IF the forms you are creating are very complex you will spend
no more time creating the interface in VB than RBase and have greater
control over the result (broad strokes). Then of course, there many things
you can do that you cannot do in RBase.
I get a sense from the list that individuals that have ventured into the VB
area are having a new appreciation of the language as they gain familiarity
with it. Mainly, you just write code without being a gymnast creating
workarounds.
The Cons are if you are creating simple bound forms with minimal
programming, then RBase and the Application Express is the way to go.
