The folks at
Visual Expert have
posted the results from their
2004 Worldwide VB Survey Results. To me, the number they report for VB developers who have
migrated to VB.NET, rather than continuing with VB6 seems
rather low. What do you think of these numbers ? Do you
have any thoughts/insights regarding any of the other
numbers that they are presenting ?

i have read this some time ago, and forgotten it. Now i
remember it and lucky to have the link back.
Cause my native language is german i have studied the
german comments. Most of them are not very objective.
Some argumenst counts, eg what i win with vb.net?
On the other side, a paripicant have reasons to attend a
survey like this and change with this reasons the
result.
I think the status of VB.NET is bad, but not so bad as
this says.
I guess that Vb.NEt 2.0 is on the right way and in 2
years nobody starts a new project with VB 6
Having read the comments at the end of that survey page,
all I can say is a lot of VB programmers seem to be
severely lacking in the brain department! :¬o
:-)
I used to program VB6 and enjoy doing so. It's C#
nowadays, though.
I tend to agree with what Visual Expert is saying.
Unfortunately, I believe it is fairly clear that the
majority of VB developers are still using VB6. This
agrees with what I am seeing in the marketplace. :-(
For example, I am just getting one of my customers to do
a from the groundup project in VB.NET with ASP.NET.
Getting VB.NET into the marketplace is harder than
Microsoft thought.
