The hate on VB(6) is specific, and it's caused by the language making the "programmer" slip into bad practices, like mixing the application and presentation layers, or the infamous "On Error Resume Next".
Design-wise, this is well justified hate - I stress "design-wise".
In the bigger picture, the ease of the framework attracted plenty of unqualified masses, therefore there is surely lots of people with a painful past of VB6 applications maintenance.
Of course I don't want to detract from VB6, as at the same time, it made very simple (or as simple as possible) for almost anybody to create applications - I'm not aware of any other language/framework which accomplished this.
