        It's not a free download, and no longer for sale. It's a proprietary app that has been discontinued. Recommending it for current development is not even an option.

                Yours may be, but every noob who touches VB6 are screwing themselves over. There just no reason at all to suggest VB6 for anything in this day and age.

                    That only tells me that you have more experience in VB6 than you have in VB.NET, nothing else. Objectively, VB.NET is technically superior. I too, prefer the things I know, above the unfamiliar things. Problem with using it today is that there's no support; security-flaws aren't corrected, no new servicepacks will be coming. New software that's developed (Sql Server 2012) does not take the existence of VB6 in account, as far as Microsoft is concerned it's simply deprecated. My apologies for pushing you into the defensive in the first place; you're right that it's a beauty, which is why it so actively refuses to die - despite our efforts.

                      You are probably right. I do have feelings to "nostalgic" things, and VB6 looks more "compact" and less heavy. Usually I work with VS2010 and stick to c++.
