Besides, the only use of VB is for the 1337 script kiddies to make easily-blocked virii.

What else can you use it you're using MS Office?
And you tell that to companies who have 1000's of Office documents full of VB macros.

VB macros are bullshit ... and they can be malicious too ... I wouldn't use 'em ... why do companies use them again ?

I believe "lack of willingness to learn a real language, like C or Java" is among the top answers to that question.
Aloone_Jonez:
I've had to write a VB program at work before, nothing hard just a Spyhawk keyboard tester, that reads values the keyboard sends to the PC via RS232. Once I'd figured out how to use RS232 (which just required custom control) writing the program was fairly straight forward, the problems started when they wanted me to distribute it with an installer.
Instead of writing my own program I used the MS Installer wizard that came with VB and the installer program created was very bloated and buggy (else I could've fitted the whole thing on a floppy). I burned it to a CD and added autoplay but the fucking installer fucked on half of the machines they tried it on, after trying to correct the problem myself I gave up and wrote a good olde batch file installer which did the job in no time at all.
