I don't speak for everyone, but in the end what bothered me of VB6 was that it was simply very slow. But nothing compares with the joy of loading some obscure .dll and finding out you now had some neat and fully functional component ready to lay out in your app.
Heyyyy ;) Computers were slow. Java applets were slowest. These days I think QT is slow.
It’s not, but with the decadal upgrades in hardware… there should be things that load instantly. Everywhere!
(Deep breath on my end. Ok.) It’s like how games went from a few kilobytes at most, to megabytes disk or dialup… to blue CDs, to 4.7gb, to blu-ray, to 0.5 TB downloads, to second mortgages.
And most of them suck anyway! We will always max out our tech, even if it doesn’t get us much. I mean… we bought that hardware for reasons.
