The coding world has moved on with classic VB (VB6)

Martin Phillips says

I think you people have to realise that .NET and VB.NET is dead and it's not coming back.

Microsoft has no reason to bring it back.

Most of the people who learnt VB.NET are now too old to coding professionally.

The coding world has moved on with classic VB (VB6) and those it left behind were left behind because they were not intellectually capable to realize the pardigm.

I and many others were, however, capable of adapting VB6 to this change. We use VB6 and love it!

So I'm sorry for you people who are unable to evolve (or follow MS like a sheep) - such is the nature of life. Only the strong survive. You just have to deal with that.

VB.NET is dead and it's NEVER coming back!

What does the future hold for VB6?

What does the future hold for VB6? Looking for 5-10-20 years into the future. Do you think VB6 will still be an important player in the technology world? why?

To me using Visual Studio 6.0 vs other Visual Studio tools there is no comparison. This is much like asking a graphics designer to create graphics in Photoshop vs Paint. As Software Development continues to become more like Engineering, these tools will become more and more important. I'm sure PHP / javascript will be the same today as they will be in 20 years, but I'm pretty confident we'll be another 2 levels of abstraction higher on the MS toolset. In the end, there is no comparison, and no better toolset for developing software than Visual Basic 6.0, Visual Studio 6.0 in general.

VB6 paradigm is not only the present but also the future

Jeff I.

Freelance Software Developer/Consultant/Certified oDesk Contractor

Let's look at it this way. Ultimately, everything has to run on a machine. Open source? That's a paradigm not a programming technology. As far as VB6 goes, the syntax is the heart of the matter. As we move into the future I think this paradigm is going to be an absolute necessity. Whatever the future holds as far as programming techs go, I think they're going to get higher level requiring that there be some intermediate compilation from a high level programming tech to some intermediate state and ultimately down to machine language so it can be executed. We already have that VB6. That's what it's all about. So yes - I think that VB6 is going to be with us for a long time. Any successor will be designed according to the VB6 paradigm by necessity. I'm not the biggest Microsoft fan, but I do think that the VB6 paradigm is not only the present but also the future.

VB.NET seemed to be a toy compared to VB6: by Cristi (PhD in mathematics)

We started our company which designs high end software solutions in the beginning of 2000s. In those days .NET was new and many people were using VB6. We had to make comparisons to choose our platform. We opted for VB6, as the advantages over .NET was huge. VB.NET seemed to be a toy compared to VB6 and not to mention VB6 was just a fraction of what is VB6 today. Glad we made the right choice. Today we have no problem with maintaining, advancing and expanding our code and we run a successful business with tens of thousands of clients using our VB6 based solutions.

Rob Leedic talks about the massive advantages of VB6 vs. VB.NET

I'm not trying to debate on the economics of the issue, just the common complaint that MS did all of this to make money from developers. The only mistake MS made was thinking that all VB6 developers wanted an insecure, crowded and slow language like VB.NET (some did).

It's also not about taking the easy road. My VB6 code is far more complex than anything that I was ever able to produce in VB.NET, or ever would have been able to. The difference is I don't have to worry about silly things like formatting code, or moving controls around a form for different resolutions, I can focus on more important things. Just because something is hard or easy doesn't make it right or wrong. Some of the things that make VB6 easier also help produce better code by producing less, and less replication.

For me, the long and short of all of this is that my VB6 programs are faster, leaner, and have a far better feature set than my VB.NET versions ever could. This all benefits my end user.

Just because a portion of the VB6 community didn't migrate, doesn't mean the MS missed the mark. Frankly the greater VB6 community is massive, and far overshadows any prior MS community.

Here's how I confronted this MS betrayal.. VB6 is so fast and easy to program, I now use it as an IDE for Python and Linux C (gcc, and some g++). Don't ask me how as I can't tell you, but I'm making a good living at at it still. MS is a distant bad trip.

I never understood why a good lawyer didn't invite a small army of litigants to seek compensation for loss of earnings which for more me alone would run into millions, and for a collective, billions I'm sure.

The problem is very simple. The programming bureaucrats got jealous of me and my ilk. So they took over the asylum. This, folks, is political, not technical.

Please stop using anonymous. Are people so afraid they dare not even let someone address them in reply?

I firmly believe people still using VB.NET are mostly lazy, incompetent, self-centric people without having technical capabilities to see the depths of modern software technologies. They are stuck at primitive old fashioned world like VB.NET and out of fear and incapacity of advancing themselves, they try bashing wonderful technologies like VB6. By doing so they radiate the deep fear that they have in themselves and instead following new technologies, they want the world change to their unfounded and shallow ways of thinking. They are bunch of pathetic and pitiful people, without any serious software knowledge. I am sure of that, as I don't see any of these people here able to get involved in any intelligent conversation to prove that they understand what software is.

.NET disciples show us your code !

"Again, the >NET disciples here, that are insulting any vb6 users intelligence please show us your superior products/ growing companies / growing profits."

They can't.

These trolls who post their .Net .Nonsense are just low paid coders who have to do what they are told. They have no choices, they are not decision makers, it is doubtful they have ever written a full application - they just write small parts of someone else's apps.

They don't even have any ideas of their own. They just copy and paste what others have said.

Expecting them to be able to show anything they have done themselves is setting the bar far too high.

Please bring back VB6: a comment by Anonymous

Once again : lies, half-truths, false assumptions, bad mathematics and attacks on character are the normal arguments of the .netties. It's kind of a "framework" of mind. They like to live their own facts free life in their little yet bloated OOP fantasy world, being rocked by inheritance and polymorphism.

The truth is MS is exercising vote censorship on the most popular idea EVER in uservoice, denying thousands upon thousands or programmers being given a voice. They just don't listen anymore.

We don't like/want the framework or .NET. Please bring back VB6.

Please bring back VB6. I will have nothing to do with .NET: a comment by Anonymous

Please bring back VB6. I will have nothing to do with .NET, an idiotic ill designed framework based on the over-usage of objects and classes, with a way too heavy syntax. In the past 17 years, I have written well over a million lines of code in VB3-4-6, all numerical computation, digital signal processing, mechanical analysis and 3d real time graphics. You will not find this code on PSC or the like, but in the engineering departments of major corporations, including all three biggest world-wide mining companies. Their requirements: something no-nonsense, easy for the typical dept technician (not much computer litterate) to handle and that works fast and into the long run. These companies don't like to jeopardize their investments in platform and software system changes.

I expect the same from my programming tools. Formerly in C, much of this code works on par speedwise with their C originals, sometimes even faster. The native code generated by VB6 is truly top notch. I don't need nor use ADO (DAO is so easy and so much faster), XML, HMTL 5, Silverlight (another MS half-baked product gone deprecated) or any of the seemingly high level, flavour of the year tools, introduced recently and touted as the "next best thing" (for gullible .net techies anyway).

There was .net 2003, 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, now 2015. Don't go thinking they were ignored, on the contrary, I tried them all and I can write top notch code with them. But I will not. They are just failed, half-baked bloatware products that came out of the twisted micro-managing minds of software engineers with limited imagination and skills. All along the way, MS has been forced into marshalling just about anything legacy in order to make things work somewhat right.

Is that all you (MS) can show for? Not productive at all. People want/need RAD. How long will this go on? It seems clear that developers at large (again with the exception of a few gullible techies) don't embrace the framework. There is no reason to. A change of course is required before it's too late. A. Einstein, a person known to have a few good working brain cells in his time defined insanity as : when you try something again and again and again, expecting somehow to get different results.

Let's stick to what really works. A fast IDE that takes care of assembling all your programs into small, compact, fast executables with a minimal distributed runtime, boosted with easy and reliable access to GDI and other system level API's.

The framework is ill designed technology. All it does is wrapping existing API's into a less usable form.The higher your depencies on wrappers, librairies and third parties, the bigger chances are your systems are going to fail with no solution in sight. I have been that road too many times before. With such people as Paul Yuknewicz at the wheel, the confidence in MS as a software company has been shattered possibly to the point of no return.

P.S. I don't mind the .net techies and trolls spamming this thread. They have no credibility whatsoever.

I'm not a "programmer" yet I earn a living by creating unique software. I understand that some want a programming tool that apparently can undertake tasks that I barely understand let alone need...... BUT there are also MANY like me ( subject matter experts ) that appreciate the simple, logical and rapid environment that VB6 provides.

I cannot grasp why Microsoft is so opposed to continuing on with VB6 ( et al ), in other fields they offer tools focusing on user needs. By way of example - Word, enabling "normal" people to create quite professional documents without having to becoming typesetters or use page layout programs... yet with programming languages it seems that a tool for the masses is not an option.

Perhaps its an ego thing within MS, its fine to offer software to the masses that doesn't make programming simple or broadly useable.... lets keep software creation complex and obscure only for the real "programmer". The dropping of VB6 certainly seems to fit this model.

I'm not interested in .NET, I'll move to another simple language if I have to, and given the disturbing trend by MS to drop technologies at a whim, I'll also be very wary of MS programming languages in future.

Its certainly another object lesson in not letting "programmers" make consumer decisions.

The speed at which I can develop in VB6 is just astounding. It is the perfect tool for all my application needs. Rock solid applications in no time at all. Just amazing to this day.

If Microsoft put out just an updated version (64-bit) and market it as RAD tool I cant see how that would have any down side for them.

They can still have .Net for those that feel they need it. .Net and VB6 have co-existed for several years at this point. They will co-exist until 2024 at least.

I say let all the .Net folks have their .Net they are certainly no threat to VB6 developers. Both great products in their own way.

The fury in the Visual Basic 6.0 community caught Microsoft by surprise

Microsoft, update or open source VB6 programming

The fury in the VB community caught Microsoft by surprise. They expected everyone to greet the new release with enthusiasm, throw away their copies of VB6 and switch to .NET without delay. They forgot to account for the real world where developers have legacy systems to maintain and little time to learn a completely new development environment. 
According to a Microsoft spokesman, the uptake of .NET was "dismal" for quite a long time. The VB6 programming community split between those who embraced the new technology wholeheartedly, those who stuck stubbornly to VB6, and those who jumped ship and switched to other environments such as Delphi.

After a developer is sufficiently comfortable with .NET and has spent several weeks in studying the migration process with the tool, Zoufaly says that a migration should progress at an average rate of just 7,000 to 10,000 lines of code per week. Therefore, a 1 million-line VB6 application will take 100 weeks—two years—to upgrade. Seems a little slow for something that Microsoft had the hubris to dub a migration "wizard." 
The "wizard" has since been dropped by Microsoft.

Many years ago I wrote an application in VB3 this ran for 4 years when I needed to update this I had no choice but to move to vb6. It was a small learning curve but everything went fine and I found VB6 perfect it did everything I needed. Now I am no programmer but I managed to write a small database driven system. This has been running for 14 years now without problem.

The customer rang me recently for an update and I realised I had no longer got my original disks and the customer computer was running windows 8. I tried visual basic 2010. God what a waste of time this software is bloated and every simple job takes about 40% longer. Come on what was wrong with the old data control. It was simple stable and just worked. Go and hang yourself .net your too complicated to slow and not what people want.
