I used to share similar feelings when VB.Net was first introduced. I couldn't believe there was no VB 7 and Visual Studio .Net was the official replacement. Having worked with .Net, winforms, MVC, webforms etc for over 10 years now, there is absolutely no comparison between the latest versions of Visual Studio and the archaic tools from VB 6 days. Yes, VB 6 starts faster, but that's pretty much where the pros end these days.
