I think there is much interest for it as VB replacement on linux.
Also many gniffing people will take a look for currioussity. :)

May be KBasic is more look alike the VB one but I belive as
VB 'lover' Gambas has his own charm and have for sure a place
in the world. 

One of the most important things is it is usable as a command 
replacement for the bash scripts too without all the X and QT stuff. 
In that way it is a equivalent to the Windows Shell Host with
'visual basic scripting' as language.

This fact is for new people in the linux world not understanding the 
cryptic bash scripts a simpler way to do jobs. A less seen fact.

Even if it is not the best solution in view of others, not try to use 
it is also a wrong solution to make a statement it is wrong or bad.
And that is for everyone there personal feeling.

I like Gambas, still a inactive side view to KBasic as 2'nd option,
for the complete different way it is designed and works.
