I have a lot of fond memories of VB6, as I started using it for an internship in college, when then I got hired full-time after graduation to keep up the app, as the sole developer/IT professional at the company. VB6 had its flaws, certainly, but as a 21 year old kid figuring out how to architect a software system, get projects done, and get the system working on the existing Novell Netware infrastructure, I didn't need to fight with C++ or deal with the vagaries of Delphi. VB6 was a great tool, VB.NET became a different tool, and I wish for the sake of not-really-programmers everywhere, VB7 had existed.
