Yes; some claim that it is even a database. I was just trying to mean
that the GUI part of Access (to design forms, work with data almost like
in a spreadsheet) was what these fellows were missing.

Well, I wouldn't say exactly so. VB was incorporated a while after the
release of VB... 2, was it? I can't remember well.
Sure, you can put VB code in your Access .mdb (or .mda), but you can
certainly design a whole GUI for your database without the need of any
VB line of code.
