I think that the most hated part of VB6 was more the BASIC language rather than the GUI design part... but maybe I'm wrong.

- bzzzt 5y agoI think it had more to do with VB being so easy it attracted lots of inexperienced programmers who didn't care about performance or correctness as long as the job got done. Sort of like a pre-internet PHP ;)
- darkwater 5y agoI also remember DLL hell and all the issues to make safely run on every Windows installation a VB6 program and its runtime. But I agree with the other commenters that the IDE and the visual part was really nice (too nice for the average skilled developer of the time, VB6 was the NodeJS of that time)
