No, because of the 'programmers' who created it. Having done at least occassional work using VB 3 - 5, my overwhelming impression of VB is that it was designed, not by programmers for users, but by marketers for IT execs. VB first becaume 'object oriented' simply by calling structures 'classes'. When that was no longer sufficient, they made the classes 'inheritable' simply by providing a function to copy the declaration code for a 'class' to a new file. This was no doubt a boon to programmers who hadn't yet mastered copy-paste, but for the rest of us, it was just more useless window dressing.

I'm a c++ programmer, but the last company I worked for had a huge project in VB. I was pretty impressed that they got it all working and very stable at the end.
Up to VB5 Microsoft were continually improving it, but unfortunately with VB6 there was hardly any new features, and they didn't even bother fixing some of the exactly same crasher bugs that were in VB5.
I think this artical, written by the auther of Hardcore Visual Basic, says it all:
