Visual Basic 6 was very productive - yes. But it was considered by many to be a toy language (it didn't support class inheritance for one).
VB.NET - at least initial versions - was about productive as C#, thus there was no incentive to use VB.
The thing that made VB6 super productive was it's form designer. The .NET successor - WinForms designer - wasn't nearly as fast and capable (to this day, really).
