HN never fails to suprise. I found vb6 ok for simple stuff but a recipe for spaghetti on medium to large projects

I had to use it at one job and it was exactly that, a spaghetti nightmare. I did not like it. I don't want to say it's bad, though, I just prefer to shy away from it and don't see any point in using it again.
