BASIC and I parted paths long ago. By the time QuickBASIC came out, I had already left BASIC for Pascal, dabbled in a few assembly languages, C, Modula-2 (Fortran, Lisp, and Cobol were all forced on me at school), C++, etc..
I came back to "Basic" for RB's cross-platform development (preferring the Mac, I thought it would be nice to develop there for Windows as well.) So I missed the whole MacBasic/Visual Basic revolution. My first impression of REALbasic was "Hey, this is just Object Pascal with some twists." So yeah, this ain't your mamma's BASIC.
