Yup. Even for non-UI applications.
Our site at the time was Active Server Pages, with a DCOM backend. We started out writing the DCOM components in C++, but way more than half of the C++ code was in just type conversions with the variant types that COM demanded.
We got tired of that really fast, and started building the COM components with VB5/6. That was SO MUCH faster.
