Same. Well, GUI based projects that is. When I learned C++ the effort to recreate some of my VB work just seemed so mindnumbingly long and boring. Which was probably to my detriment...if it were the only way, what fun. But when you know the easier way, you question why.

Myself and a lot of kids probably grew up on VB. I was one of those annoying kids writing AOL 3.0 'progs.' I don't think I've ever had as much fun coding as those days, but that's probably due to age and community moreso than VB's greatness.
