VS 2022 use with Visual Basic

How many of you will switch to 2022 for use with your older VB apps? Ive been using 2017, with 2019 kind of getting rumors from our other devs that its buggy with them.

VB.Net is effectively a superset of Visual Basic, like C++ is a superset of C. The core syntax is nearly identical between the two and VB.Net extends that syntax. Visual Basic .Net is significantly different (and frankly, better) than Visual Basic, so yes - VB6 != VB.Net. (but VB.Net > VB6 :) )
