>Which is better
Cue 100 different opinions ...
But as we open that can of worms, let me just ask: better for what?
>and easier?
Again, I suspect there will be a lot of views - and the easiest languages may not be the better languages, depending on what you want to do ...

And your software will run on the Web? If so, on regular Web browser? Mobile devise? Or on 'regular' PC as a window's / Mac app?

Consider contributing to or forking an open source project like one of these. There's no reason to reinvent the wheel.

What level is necessary to make use of a free, ready-made program or to learn from its programming?
Even at a base level, a collaborative development project where a new developer can observe best coding practices is a lot better than falling into bad practices in isolation.
Sure using an application shouldn't be an issue.
And I don't disagree with your view that best coding practices is a lot better than falling into bad practices
But by their own admission the OP is pretty much a beginner programmer - and that's in VB - and thus is hardly likely to be able to contribute or fork either of the apps you link. Nor, I'd suggest, to learn from them. They'd have to learn C++ first, for example, which is hardly the 'easy' language they were hoping for ... (in fact, I rather suspect they'd find it hard to actually locate the source code in git, as I 'd hazard they don't really know what git is ...)
