> a ton of really badly written apps encountered out in the wild when I did some small business IT consultancy made me very averse to VB in general. A lot of VB has been historically written by people who had no background in writing software. They were jack of all trades, needed some quick and dirty and they learned just enough to have some working code |

I love the idea that somebody could just get something working - it is fantastic that was possible, and a shame that we've lost it a bit.
The fact that a professional might look at the code produced and die a little inside is where a lot of bad rep comes from, but hey, working software is better than no software, particularly in the days when that software probably is running on a single machine that is not connected to the internet, and when it is, it's only connected a couple of hours a day via dial-up modem.
