A digital archive of BYTE Magazine covering 1975 through 1995 is online now at the Internet Archive. BYTE was a very influential magazine its first decades and included articles and columns on both hardware and software, basically everything in the topic of small computers and software. A broad range of operating systems were addressed as well. Any of the programming languages available at the time were regularly covered, Smalltalk, Lisp, Logo, basically anything. And of course source samples and occasionally whole programs were included. It basically lead in the era of hands-on computing.

To a large extent, I agree with you. I think though that if and when a programmer feels ready to take on a project of that size and complexity, they should also feel ready to quickly pick up and embrace other languages. If they stubbornly stick with only ever BASIC (and I should probably include VB6 in that) even after years of experience, I'd say the problems lie outside of the computer and not with BASIC itself.
