Hey, I still use VB6 for my PC-based applications.

Only problem is that I put projects on hold for a few months, forget a ton of details, then have to relearn a lot of stuff over again.

But I still think any VB version is the way to go just because of the huge number of examples on google, and help forums. I go here (currently have a Access app on hold, so this is my VBA reference):
