"Boring company program" is exactly what VB was made for. People tried to use it for other purposes because when you have a hammer, you make everything look like a nail, but I don't recall any actual prominent software written in VB outside of line-of-business stuff. "Serious business" in that timeframe was done either in Delphi or in C++.
