When it comes to classic VB (aka VB6) it isn't so much what you can do but how you do it. After all everything that was possible with VB6 was also possible with Visual C++.

Working in a windows environment you often end up dealing with powershell already .. which means you don't have to learn another language and ends up simplifying everything.

This is the VB6 comparison in my book.
