I hate VB

I started (professional) coding with VB3 and loved it … entirely because I had been using Turbo Basic up to that point.

Does anyone still use any version of VB?

VB .NET is actually not complete madness as it’s just C# with another skin

The answer to “does anyone” questions is almost always “yes.”

I’m pretty sure if I asked “does anybody still use Turbo Basic?” the answer would be “no”.

Depends what you mean by “use”. I’d be shocked if there aren’t any retro-computing hobbyist groups that still dabble in it.

Or if some airline out there isn’t absolutely dependent on it somewhere in the stack
