Visual C++ vs Visual Basic

I just got Visual C++ yesterday, (standard edition) and i'm thinking whats better, i have both, (and Borland c++ builder 5) and i was hoping VC++ had a visual form designer, but it doesnt???
im quite dissapointed, but as they say, you cant have what you want.
i also prefer VB6 because its mostly visual. and i didnt think VB Was that powerful, im still keeping VC++, cant put £80 down the drain...
anyway,
what does anyone else think?
VB6 or VC++6

(I prefer VB6 because its visual, and i also like VC++ Because its more powerful.)

well, to my knowledge it has a visual designer for dialogs, just not win32 windows. i would say vb for ease, and vc++ for flexibility/compatibility.

one thing: to my knowledge, you wont be able to compile rf with that since standard does not include mfc (thats only in pro+)
