Not that other languages aren;t the samebut I found having started with BASIC in the early 80s, that it laid down the logic for understanding almost every aspect of computing.
Like a lot of other geeks, almost all applications just make sense to me, I never really have to work hard to learn how they work.
It must just be because if you understand how they were created, you understand how they work.
The only significant exception was Dreamweaver, for some reason. The minimal interface and slightly odd terminology they use make for a steep learning curve.

basicI think learning BASIC first fucked me up. I could have been such a good programmer. Doing Fortran at uni didn't help.
