PureBasic has a good while of developement behind an looks really stable by now.
While the integrated (and in the price included) Visual Designer is a mess compared to what we are used from PowerBasic,
the Compiler itself has huge libraries that help to quickly "get things done".
Here is a Page with a large amount of PureBasic Sample-Files:
RS-PureBasic Files (http://www.rsbasic.de/backups/)
