That's not how I saw VB's reputation at that time period.

It definitely depended on whom you talked to. Folks in the "business" world generally respected the productivity of VB, as it was used for a lot of the little custom apps that people depended on.

But there were also a lot of developers who thought that VB programmers were the script kiddies of the day.
