There is a project called Gambas (http://gambas.sourceforge.net http://gambas.sourceforge.net) that has tried to replicate what VB was. The project has been well maintained over the years and the latest release was 14.03.2015.
It support designing GUI applications visually just like VB, but the implementation of the runtime component exists for both Gtk and Qt. Same with database access (MySQL, Postgres, Sqlite). There are other components too like SDL.
The language is not 100% the VB language, but similar (with some modern features).
Not very different to the Delphi side. The Lazarus project is active and last update was also on March, 2015: http://www.lazarus-ide.org http://www.lazarus-ide.org
