I never shipped an app in VB6 (only dabbled extensively) but I did work professionally with a huge range of UI technologies, including vanilla HTML/JS, ColdFusion, Java Applets, AWT/Swing, C++/QT, Flex/ActionScript, Objective-C/iOS/Cocoa, React/React Native... but with each of them I would pine for the ease of doing things in VB6. I mean, I understood technically why each framework had its complexities, especially when it came to dynamically scaling to various displays. But there were so many times, especially for very simple use-cases, I'd be like "LET ME JUST CLICK AND DRAG YOU TO THE CONFIGURATION I WANT YOU TO BE GODDAMMIT." | ||
