and as far as criticism from eponasoft goes

i'm glad someone fairly reasonable is here to offer intelligent criticism. i may only agree with some of the conclusions he reaches, and some of his arguments, but there are probably a few things we can learn from him, and even from fb, even if i think fb will likely have more to learn from qb64.

then again i think eponasoft probably underestimates galleon. i think a number of people are telling him things he already knows, but i'm willing to also. i also don't have the galleon=god thing that many people have for v1c. so far though, galleon is pretty awesome. as i mentioned, i was feeling the way you were, until i tried qb64. it's already fun.
