Seriously, sneering at VB6 in 2017 is elitism? Using it today comes with countless drawbacks, but is actually not any easier than using C#.
I used VB6 for all my Windows applications when my alternative was to use C++ + MFC or Win32 which was significantly more difficult. There was an actual advantage. Today, there is no advantage whatsoever.
- WorldMaker 10y agoSorry, no, my intended tone was that sneering at VB14 (VB.NET 2015 edition) today was elitism. VB14 is a good language on equal footing with its peers, but there seems to be a lot of antagonism to it simply because it still tries to be new programmer friendly-ish. (I agree that VB6 is a relic of the past that is no longer a viable programming platform.)
