I think it became harder to write true desktop apps once VB6 was killed off in favor of .Net with its higher learning curve.
As bad as a real language VB6 and it's GUI builder were, it did allow even amateurs to write a decent working crud app in minimal time.
- matwood 10y agoI still think VB6 was the pinnacle for writing line of business CRUD apps. I've been told there are still some VB6 apps I wrote ~15 years ago running at a big enterprise I once worked for.
- ComodoHacker 10y agoDelphi was the pinnacle. But VB had definitely set the trend.
- alkonaut 10y agoI find C# and WinForms at least as simple as vb6. They did make Lightswitch to really dumb down the one-off crud app development, but I'm not sure if that still lives.
