I agree that Gambas 3 is certainly a great development environment. I was using Gambas 2 but when I imported my projects into Gambas 3 I had to make several changes to make them work. Maybe the changes are for the better - I shall see. It is much easier to develop in than VB in my opinion but that may be more my emerging familiarity with the environment. I particularly like its ability to create install packages for different Linux distros. I highly recommend it as an easy way for the non-programmer to develop apps for personal use.
