I have been thinking about this framework thing lately. Could I create my own framework, per say, for c++ so I could program almost as fast with c++ as with c#?

Is that what the dot net framework does?
 
Framework is just a set of a lot of classes :)
So if you make yourself some classes that will make C++ programming easier then you could have your own little framework :)
 
It really depends on what you try to accomplish with the C++ code. .NET Framework makes a lot of things go easy, but this doesnt mean C++ will kill you :)
 
C++ was the first language I started learning and I quickly moved to C# because of the ease of use.

But I have heard one man say that he could develop programs just as fast as vb6 using Borland C++ Builder. Do you think that could be true?
 
Borland Builder is whole another story.
Builder contains Drag and drop form designers, just like VB or C#. But it needs some borland run times along with it.
 
VS.NET 2003 has a form designer but only for managed c++, not the normal one.
The best thing to do when doing C++ is to stay with good old winapi controls.
 
With VC++ 5, 6 etc we had MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes). The IDE provided a form/dialog designer for MFC applications. However, a lot of programmers stay away from MFC, preferring to do everything the hard way (Win32 API). With VC++.Net we still have MFC, but you can also use Managed Extensions.
 
Then how do those people design visually good looking programs without being able to see what they are doing until they run the program?
