Recommend me a language

I used VB 6 a while ago before I started learning some real languages. However, I still can't get over how much easier it was to make GUI applications in VB, despite how much the language itself sucked. Window toolkits for other languages are horrible to use and rarely come with a real visual editor - Tk sucks ass, Swing sucks ass, win32 API in C is either a pain in the ass or I can't figure out a good way to do it...

I haven't tried MFC or any .NET shit yet. How the hell do people write real Windows apps? Should I try something else?

you get a decent language specifically for writing guis
May I mention Mozilla's XUL, an even more GUI-oriented simple language (an XML language) using CSS for styling and JavaScript for GUI logic and client-end logic if you so desire, connected against a server via SOAP or similar, or compiled together with Gecko and your program if you're l33t enough to figure how (I'm not, don't ask how).

Just stop being a stupid fanboy and realize GUI applications, even those who were ported and run on GTK, are faster and more stable on Windows.
