- jordache 6y agoVB6 is terrible. I much prefer the current front end landscape rather than that "Dim it up!"
- tabtab 6y agoFor who? Its bad points were mostly fixable. MS just stopped working on it an threw out it.
- tabtab 6y agocorrection: "and threw it out" (replacing it with Dot-Net, which wasn't backward compatible.)
- jordache 6y agofor everyone.. terrible IDE that is more suited for simple scripting, than the complex client logic that exist in today's webapps. Terrible language. End Sub as opposed to curly braces? Really?
- tabtab 6y agoExample "complex client logic" that we can analyze here? As far as programming language syntax preferences, that's a different subject, and largely subjective.
