Visual Basic in VS has aggressive autocomplete and it gets pretty annoying. You often want to write things in a different order and end up having to delete the auto-inserted endif/quotes/brackets/variable names (if it's not yet declared, it changes it to become something else that is), etc.

Oh, you still code in Visual Basic? Fascinating. May I ask what's the use case and how are you finding coding in VB these days?
Not OP, but there are some fairly complex/decent use cases with Microsoft Excel.

Overall not much.

Some could argue that there is value in "bash like" vbscript automations via cscript, but that became legacy after Powershell came along.
