I used to use Visual Basic years ago to knock up GUI's for things. I was (and still am) a terrible programmer. I'd write the main functions in c++ and use syscalls because I knew more of that than VB. I just liked that there was something I could use to draw the GUI with.

These days, the only thing I ever use is either bash scripting or perl, and I know very little, just picking it up and learning what I need to do when I want to do something, which isn't that often. Thing is, I haven't found anything for linux that has the easy to use draw GUI method of VB for linux. I don't use windows now, it would be good to find a tool like that. Is there such a thing?

I'll probably end up writing something in SDL. Tired of fucking commandlines. It's 2011 and even the best compilers still requiring typing shit in. Can't even use drag&drop for libs and whatnot.
