For me, VB + Visual Studio was the highlight of late 90s programming - true drag&drop wysiwyg ui design, a clean link between code and ui, lightning fast prototyping. ahhh good times

It’s hilarious seeing people praise VB when at the time it was a running joke holding the same reluctant acceptance among devs as JS does today.
