The only sucky things about VB6 was threading wasn't a regular language feature. You could get to it through the WinAPI but that's not organic enough for most VB programmers. One thing I do miss about VB6 is that you didn't need an entire runtime to build a GUI.

I wouldn’t say that was the only thing...error handling was a mess and I don’t even want to remember what I had to do to make a hash table - there were definitely low level calls to RtlMoveMemory and such.
