Steve,
I use both VB6 and Visual Studio.Net in my work. For my own little side projects, however I still use VB6. .Net is fine - but if you're interested in developing strictly to the Windows desktop then VB6 still has the most bang for the buck, IMHO.
If you have an extra couple hundred bucks - order yourself a copy of CodeSmart2007 for VB6. (
www.axtools.com). It enhances the VB6 IDE with features you only find in .Net - it's an excellent extension.
Much of the code that I still maintain in our system here (at least 60% of it) is in VB6 and really has no cause to be migrated to .Net as yet. VB6 ain't dead by a long-shot.
-CB :)
