There's plenty of "VB Gods" around then. I suspect many C/C++ programmers one way or another found themselves working in a business that had VB as the shop standard? I know I did. I wrote good solid, readable, maintainable, stable code, including DLLs and OCXs - they're nothing special. Some of the projects I did are _still_ in use 10 years later at one location.
Was VB my tool of choice? Certainly not, but it was what I was required to use, with few exceptions. A good craftsman can succeed with an inferior tool. Just watch - The well crafted VB apps will have a half life similar to COBOL.
