I was always jealous of the component catalogs of prebuilt VBX / OCX components. It was amazing how much functionality (aka solving the business problem) you could do by just getting a load of components and writing some glue code / UI.

CPAN comes closest for me or the old NeXTSTEP object catalog, but VB was amazing for it.
