If what you said were true
then we would have left COBOL and mainframes YEARS ago! Fact is, there is a LOT of VBx code out there, and the "simple" act of migration may be prohibatively expensive. Not to mention that VB6 "experts" are turned into VB.net "newbies", which HAS to impact the development cycle.

I agree that AmigaVision (OOOPs, I mean VB) is for "casual" developers, and higher-level languages should be used in the enterprise (I prefer Ada - which outlaws pointers!). I also don't see the point in .NET anything - since its just a rip-off of Java without the cross-platform stuff (kinda like frosted flakes without the frosting). Maybe these guys see what I do - .NET is NOT the future . . .
