I do not use classes. I think they are slow and confusing. However, in order to contain a lot of code, I must use an advanced IDE environment like Microsoft's visual studio.

Yes.Do you use classes?
Neither. Classes are tools. It all depends on how you write your code.Do you think using classes makes a program faster or slower?
Easier by a huge margin.
Classes are not slow. The code you write can be slow, but that isn't related to classes at all.
If you find them confusing, then you had better start understanding them better. Classes are bread and butter in today's programming world because it's a value tool that makes code organization a lot easier.
Oh, and as to being confusing: that really just indicates you don't intuitively understand the concept yet. It can be confusing at first to learn to think in object-oriented terms, but once you can, it's very fast and easy.
That will be the same with many concepts you'll come across in software. At first the ideas seem new and alien, and it's a struggle just to understand them. After a while, you develop some confidence, things go quicker, and as you keep on keeping on, eventually you develop mastery, and can quickly and easily think about problems in the right way. Pointers are one of the first conceptual hurdles most of us come across. Class-based OOP is another. There are plenty more to come - if you're not regularly having that experience, you're probably not developing your skillset as much as you really could.
You ever try a pink golf ball, Wally? Why, the wind shear on a pink ball alone can take the head clean off a 90 pound midget at 300 yards.
