The "Basic" language is essentially considered a beginner's language, so many experienced programmers look down on it as a 'quick-fix' to programming. Such a view is entirely incorrect -- programming IS programming -- but such viewpoints do exist.
MP pretty much hit the nail on the head. If you like the language, it serves you well, and it can produce what you want, then by all means: use it!
Remember that you're programming to create something neat, not to appease other coders.
