some Rust, rants about OOP, retro emulation, and whatever weird thing has me up at 2am.

What did you love about VB6, and what frustrates you about modern .NET?
Two open questions for anyone who shipped real work on Visual Basic 6 and is now writing C# against modern .NET. What specifically did VB6 get right that you miss? And what do you find frustrating about the modern toolchain that VB6 didn't make you fight?
