The BASIC language that RS uses has nothing to do with whether or not it 
is a hobby tool or a professional tool.  The language is fine.  Cocoa 
and C# are just as high-level as RB is in many ways.  The modern BASIC 
is not really BASIC at all; depending on how old you are and how much of 
the "old" BASIC you've used.
