I have a relative who is still making very good money writing one-off custom applications for all sorts of local businesses. He works entirely in Visual Basic with an Access back-end. He doesn't even use .Net, it's all old-school VB.
With social tech sites like HN and /r/programming, we tend to forget that the business needs that drove the RAD CRUD-type apps of the 1990s never went away, it's just not interesting to talk about anymore.
