thanks varier good info really just learning here.
Currently Mac OS X programmers can choose between limited IDEs, including native IDEs like Xcode, older IDEs like CodeWarrior, newer IDEs like MyEclipse, and open-source tools, such as Eclipse and Netbeans. ActiveState Komodo is a proprietary IDE supported on the Mac OS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Development_Environment#Attitudes_across_different_computing_platforms
I suppose then to make a decision as to what is better would also depend on your os of choice? Also, I think netbeans is free while Microsoft Studio might be more advanced or have better support if needed - in that I am not sure of.

I believe both of them are cross platform, even we need to set things up if we want to install VB on Linux. But nevermind, I highly believe this discussion creator is Windows user, though.. :p
And I believe both are free and have some support forums throughout internet..
I am not really sure with VB, since I got a free copy from my campus, but I believe there's a free version for that one..

a) non of them is a language. They are both environments in which you can write code using a code language. I,e, they are platforms.
b) while VB is considered to be easier (since you already know the interface from other Microsoft tools), I think that you you want to work *right* you need to stick with IDE - since its compiler is working according to the latest standard, while Microsoft is allowing itself to invent its own code standard.
c) If you really are looking for the best platforms I would suggest eclipse. It is the best(!) and while is mostly support Java you can add plugins to make it support almost every possible programing language.

I believe Visual Basic is easier to use than Java. Java is platform independent which is a very big plus in that it works on Linux, Windows, and mobile. I created a web browser in Visual Basic that can be checked out by the link in my profile. Making an executable file in Java is a lot harder than in Visual Basic however. Visual Basic is an easier to understand language than most I have programmed with thus far.

I believe VB is easier to write programs than netbeans since it is a microsoft product .And microsoft most products are very user friendly than any other products available in the market today .Its very tough to replace or compete with microsoft products just see windows operating system and VB programing language are being used for many decades without any loss of their utility and charm .......

Please correct me if i am wrong.. Netbeans is an IDE i.e. Integrated development environment used to develop code and applications in various languages like php,java etc. Visual basic is Microsoft's language to develop software applications .They can be developed in Visual basic tool with various versions such as 2006,2008,2010 etc ...
So it depends on you which type of applications you want to develop and accordingly you can choose to learn . Everything is easy once started. :)
