I wouldn't describe myself as a VB fan but I don't hate it either.

I would say however that there is harm in picking technologies that less developers know (or will be willing to learn).

For your use of VB6 clearly it doesn't matter but I'm not sure I'd recommend anyone started a commercial project with VB...

Totally agree. If someone paid me to write something, I'd do it C#. I'd moan and grumble about it, but still I wouldn't use VB.NET as the Article says - millions of people use c#, and only a hundreds of thousands use VB.NET.

I can code adequately in many languages, I just seem to be more comfortable in any dialect of Basic.
