I'm with mad; it's a little of both. QB64 itself limits me on some of the things that I want to do, due to its underlying flaws with glut and such. (The keyhit issue gnaws at my soul and has made me curse loudly more than once.) The problem is, I'm not a standard user of QB64, as as such, I'm wanting it to do things for me that most people simply don't need it to do, so the chances of those things being added to the language are small to none.
Now, of course, that's just the limit of the language itself. I'm also limited by my own self, as I've just got too many irons in the fire like always. I can't devote time to work on anything for more than a few hours, which I basically use just as a break from other life-issues, so I'm not going to be producing anything outlandishly great and amazing anytime soon. I just don't have time and motivation to invest in anything beyond something simple, such as helping folks on the forums or whatnot. I'm too busy farming, working, volunteering, reading, watching tv, sleeping, eating, writing, and everything in between to devote time to do any serious programming.
The language itself limits me somewhat, but even IF it did everything I wanted it to do, I'd still be limited by my own hectic life and schedule. It's definitely an issue where both things tend to limit me somewhat.
