Depends how you define developer.
VB was definitely "business oriented scripter" friendly. When I needed to do something that felt more like programming than scripting it annoyed the hell out of me.
Note: It was still awesome overall, and the time I spent swearing at it for the complex logic parts was more than worth it for the time and pain I saved elsewhere, but I think that's what the retool founder's trying to gesture at.
