Joel never spent 6 months working on a very simple feature request that should have taken 5 minutes and a half dozen lines of code. I'd like to see him say with a straigh face that it is a good idea to stick with VB6 indefinately. There is a lot of wisdom in his post, but it isn't always practical or possible to evolve a legacy code base.
