Well, the point is, in VB you can make control arrays both in the 
form editor and in code.  In Gambas you can only make them in 
code.  Granted you can only *use* them in code in either one, 
but if (as one of my clients did) you have 90 textboxes on a 
form and you need to insert a bit of data into each one 
sequentially.... in VB it's 4 or 5 lines of code, in Gambas it's 
94 or 95.
