Whether we like it or not VB fitted a lot of developer needs in it's day. I actually believe that without the proliferation of VB in the Win 3.1 and early Win32 days, the Windows market would not have grown as quickly as it did. It allowed the creation of lots of new software rapidly. More software sold more Operating systems etc. So it had it's place. But VB is no longer as popular as it was and I think is reaching it's evolutionary end.
