Gambas uses a syntax very similar to Visual Basic and has an IDE with drag-and-drop GUI editor. It allows stepping through the code one line at a time for debugging. There are quite a few modules available - it can be used for building everything from a database frontend for MySQL or SQLite, to network enabled applications, like an email client, to games, etc. It can also package an app for distribution on various Linux distros.

A joy to code with. All other Linux GUI development tools need to look at this implementation as an example of what they should strive to be.
