One more thing that changed is a platform situation. Everyone is looking into building crossplatform tools, and MS tools do not really cover this front. Thus the abundance of those browser-wrappers such as Electron. The html/js stack is far from trivial but it really is truly portable. So the new visualbasic has to be different, and I don't think newer ms tools cover this niche.
