Python is a common choice especially for smaller projects, with C or C++ 
  often chosen for bigger applications. The Red Hat installer, for 
example, is mostly written in Python. A few hardy souls even do GUI 
programming in Perl.

Some use Java/Swing, and you might want to look into Eclipse Java/SWT too.

If you really want to code like you're using VB, there are a bunch of 
commerical RAD environments around to cater to that demand. Expect to 
pay for the "privelege" though.
