  I don't knw what edw does, but there are a lot of small businesses that need small one-off desktop apps, for which VB is perfect.

    Agreed here; I've seen that a lot with in-house stuff. At my wife's former employer, almost all of the internally-developed stuff that she supported was a mashup of VB, Access, PowerShell, and third-party tools that they glued together.

      I could understand this, but I've never heard of the all-capital BASIC referring to Visual Basic.

    Modern VB is certainly good for that. But calling it BASIC is like calling Common Lisp LISP.

      The 'b' still stands for "beginners" whatever you call it.
