Honestly, most people still using Visual Basic at this point probably aren’t itching for new features. Stability is a feature itself when it comes to legacy code.

Absolutely. Saying this as someone who codes 100% in VB supporting applications that are 25+ years old. Honestly, I couldn't be happier with the language strategy as I was wholly expecting VB to be discontinued.

  .NET itself is about 20 years old. How are you supporting VB apps that are 25+?

    They probably migrated some VB6 apps to VB.NET.

    I don't see the contradiction. Visual Basic existed before .NET did.

    Visual Basic is more than 40 years old. The .Net version of the language was released somewhere around 2002, if I recall correctly.
