I was a freelancer back then. So worked across several different stacks. VB6 was my goto for RAD. Delphi for performance. Wasn’t keen on C++ back then and the less said about Java (with regards to desktop applications) the better. I remember hating .NET v1 beta but I can’t for the life of me remember why. C# has definitely grown on me since but ironically these days I don’t touch Windows (nor even write GUI applications).

Aye, I rarely touch desktop stuff these days. Most of my efforts now get deployed into our Azure environments these days, which I have to confess I bloody love. I used to work for an ISP and Webhoster back in the 2000's building out provisioning and billing apps. With Azure I sure don't miss having to manage fleets of physical servers any more, even the big iron VM boxes we ran.
