I can't help but think of FreeBASIC: It's very powerful, especially for quick'n'dirty programs. But it's entirely possible to write very poor code with it as well.

I'm a stickler for creating efficient code yet having a nicely formatted source code listing with lots of remarks and functional documentation. I'm sure that people who've dealt with BASIC (especially BASICA/GWBASIC) have seen very poor spaghetti code that may get the job done but it's just an outright pain to debug and adapt when improvements are needed.
