from the comments: "Actually for much in house Windows development the .net vs Visual Studio 6 and VB6 was a massive step back unless you changed to C#. Even today lots of stuff that was efficient and easy to do can't be done simply on .net. Also all the pointless changes in "approved" APIs and GUIs. The .net is a mess worse than DLL hell."
Wow! Hey...that sounds vaguely familiar to VFP critics of DotNot.

Conversely a lot of stuff that was impractical or impossible in VB6 is trivial in .NET.
And no it isn't worse than DLL hell, if you even half know what you're doing.
I have made a lot of different applications with C# over the past 18 years and hands down .NET was superior to VB6. VB6 was so much closer to Access in how you created a project compared to .Net 1 & 2. The positive steps forward that M$ did in the .NET space since then make me laugh when you condemn them and still use SW from Win 95-98 as the basis of your career.
Today you find that more of the developers in .NET are using open source tools in their projects as a whole. In Data I can write code in python vs TSQL. This is part of a 2020 project for upgrading our DW.
