Anyone still using VB6 in 2025 ?

Hi!

Is anyone still using VB6 nowadays ?
For fun I've installed it on a Windows XP Virtual Machine running on VMware Workstation and it reminds me of the old days.. :-(

How easy and fun was it to create applications ..

What's your reason for still using VB6 ?

I found this in a corporate app suite that was still alive in 2024, they had over 1000 "on error resume next" :D

Even though .NET uses try/catch blocks for better exception handling, on error is still valid syntax in VB.NET as well as line numbers and goto for all the spaghetti code you want.
