A lot of the same points. Java is even more 3GLish than Visual Studio.
The reason I love PowerBuilder is because I want to spend most of my time actually writing the application, not writing application infrastructure to support writing the application. Pair PowerBuilder with a decent framework like PFC and you can pretty much immediate get down to generating something the end user can use, and produce it rather quickly.
In the inverse of what Terry says below, people who have learned PowerBuilder and know how productive it can be can have a real hard time with anything else, particularly because of how much more time it seems to take to get anything done with them.
