I like Liberty BASIC.
I've always found LB relatively easy to use and it suits my rather limited abilities and modest needs.
I tend to use LBB as well but not for any particular reason; I'm not a power user and am unlikely to experience any benefit from LBBs additional power and reliability that a more advanced user might require / benefit from.
LB5 is good news because it provides new impetus and enthusiasm to the development of LB and, by association, to BASIC.
This is just my view and opinion - I understand that you and others might view things differently, which is fine.
