The last time I touched BASIC was Visual Basic 6. VB.NET is a great example of my point - from what I understand it was a huge pain to move VB6 applications to VB.NET

I hardly cared about VB since the Visual Basic 6 days, but then I got a few contracts in life sciences domain, and got to realize they are heavy users of it.

That is the tool that many researchers with some programming skills reach for, maybe they will some day move to Python or R, but VB is what they use currently.
