I started with VB6 Back in 2000. It was easy to pickup as my first programming language was gwbasic/qbasic. I really loved event driven development, IDE and easy Compile and run procedure.
IMO VB.net offers almost everything that VB6 has plus extra features of .net libraries. It can also do project conversion from VB to vb.net (upto extent) but as fellow commenters have mentioned there's cost of jumping from VB to VB.NET based windows app. Therefore VB6 will continue to thrive until corporation justify that cost.
