I had the most amazing experience learning how to program in VB6. It is, to this day, still the most amazing experience of creating desktop applications I ever had. Partially because I had a really awesome high school professor at that time, but still...
In my final year of high school, I decided on my own to try using the latest .NET version of Visual Basic for my graduation project. It wasn't hard, it was just a little bit more complicated and a bit disappointing experience when compared to VB6. My project was working, but not perfectly. I felt like I could ace it in VB6, but it felt way too outdated to be usable in the long run (turns out I was right, Microsoft killed XP, my high school switched to Office 365 and Windows 7, therefore, my VB6 project would be unusable now by the school administration).
I still feel the nostalgia whenever I think about how easy was to program in that thing.
