I can kind of understand both sides of this. Nowadays when you learn to make Video Games your usually gonna learn in something other than VB6, or at least I would hope you do. Copy-Paste tutorials did the trick for me. At first, I won't lie, I never even bothered to look at the code or even try to understand what it did, but then after it caught my attention I slowly started to learn. The way I see it is, you will get people who do not care about code because not everyone likes to code, when people are first introduced to something like this they think its the greatest creation on the earth and they do their best to work with it even though they don't know it. I vote for DX7 for 2 reasons. 1) Those same people should be using Eclipse. 2) If something like DX8 was implemented into MS, an average Nub like myself who has been so used to DX7 is gonna have no idea what the heck is going on and it will just totally screw up my process of learning. Just my 2 cents.
