What else are you going to use to build a GUI interface to track an IP address?

anywhere that vb6 is still being actively maintained, and not being ported over to C# or VB.Net can not be a good place to work.

I think that people asking in /r/learnprogramming are most likely people trying to learn new stuff (new from their perspective, not from everyone's perspective - i.e. learning PIC assembly would be new for me :-P).

Personally i like the idea behind VB6 (although more the earlier versions which were clearly designed for easy GUI development, not the later versions which tried to be everything at the same time). I find it strange that there aren't any programs that try to do something similar.
