I actually prefer using .NET Framework for even fresh projects of mine if they are going to run on Windows anyways: Microsoft provides security fixes for new .NET LTS versions for only three years, so your application bitrots rapidly. Meanwhile, .NET Framework 4.8 is several years old and will almost certainly still be getting security updates ten years from today. To be clear, Microsoft provides better support today for Visual Basic 6 than it does many versions of the modern .NET.
