VB6 was at probably peak popularity mid/late 90s which is why you probably remember it as just coming out even though it had been out for a while. That's one thing that's certainly different - the rate of growth and hype for new languages and technologies. The literal and figurative network effects today obviously allow stuff the ability to get hot so much faster.
