in my opinion is there for beginners, and even then it's probably not the best idea as when programmers start in vb, there view on programming is completely ruined, the concept etc.
It took so long for me to understand classes etc and OOP when trying to jump from vb to C#, because i relied on the GUI making and un-accuracy your allowed in VB6 (yes im talking about vb6, vb.net is a little better)
But long ago when i did manage to learn C# and got quite well with it, i dropped vb completely and then started hating it, its disgusting, slow and gives you a bad view on things, i'm not sure why its even a beginners language cause it feels like when you jump onto another language you've gotta learn everything completely different.
VB users usually only rely on the GUI and form creation, id like to see them write up something in notepad without using any fancy drag and drop buttons to do there work.
It has its up's, it is fast and easy to create quick programs, but so does other languages if you actually know what your doing.
