Re: For me

Yes VB6 programming was probably the best all round. .Net added some improvements but lost out in other ways - particularly in speed and ease of development.

But Microsoft chose to have a revolutionary rather than evolutionary approach (if you can call cloning Java a 'revolution'). With hindsight an updated VB6 programming language would have been better than VB.Net - and it would have retained compatibility with VBA programming too.
