I honestly wished they would of somehow open sourced Visual Basic 6, it was quite interesting being able to create software rapidly and easily that couldn't be "decompiled" the way .NET / Java applications can be reversed back from bytecode. Unlike Delphi / Pascal which are a bit harder to just pick up and learn by comparison (try just giving a child Delphi, and then give them VB6 and see which one they could work quicker in). I think VB.NET had not much of a point with a language like C# around. Maybe they should of redone some parts of Visual Basic .NET to make it more adaptable by all programmers. Multi-line comments is one thing I wished it had.
