A few years ago I programmed in VB6, I really liked it because it was very simple and fast, when VB.net came out, I abandoned it because they changed a lot. I wonder if after all these years there is a new language or IDE that helps programming easier and faster than VB6. I am not very interested in academic / personal issues, such as very high performance, excellent mobility with OS, open source, etc. I would like to know if there is something for programming small and medium desktop applications. in a very simple and fast way.
Sorry if my english is not very clear.
Edit the answer to Nicholas: Well, I have to admit that I did not try VB.Net too much, I was a little disappointed because I would have to learn a lot, and I learned VB6 not so long ago (at that moment).
VB.Net is the natural progression of VB6, and it has many free tools and resources on the Internet to get started. Microsoft even provides a free development environment, as well as a free database for development / integration in your applications.
We’ll open this website to get information and download links to all free Microsoft software.

VB6 still runs on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019. Just like it did with Windows 98.
