It is still fairly early in the morning for me on a Saturday, so please excuse me if I missed that your comment was sarcasm. I still have an MCSD in VB6 and programmed millions of lines of code in it but honestly I haven't used it in about a decade and would never consider using it again.

ASP.NET WinForms are just as obsolete in my book. I programmed dozens of applications using it but I would never consider using it today for modern web development.

I still use Microsoft development tools. C# and ASP.NET MVC are great, modern technologies that allow me to make stable and scalable web applications very rapidly. The modern versions of Visual Studio fulfill all the things you said you liked about VB6 and are otherwise incomparably superior.

Same here, used VB6 in the past and pushed it to its limits, then .NET came along and ate its lunch, far superior in all ways, including speed of development.
