Did all VB programmer switched to VB.NET? VB.NET is quite different than VB, and u need to install a huge IDE and framework, whild the VB6 is only 5MB size. VB6 is also quick to run,and in the language, I know Microsoft has made huge amount of changes, that I heard, some VB programmer even threatened to Swich to other programming tool like Delphi Thanx!

    I still personally use VB6 over vb.net, although I have both running as I want to ease in to .net. VB6 still rules! :)

    This is all true. However, there are many companies and users that still use VB6. Personally, my company has numerous clients that use VB6, with no plans to change in the near future, and some that wish to keep VB6 apps already in existence while doing new development in .NET or another platform. I would leave it simply at this: There are several reasons why you may want to use .NET (C# or VB.NET) instead of VB6, but if it ain't broke, why fix it?
