Ah, Visual Basic 6 (VB6). If you were writing software in the late '90s or early 2000s, you probably have some fond (or maybe traumatic) memories of this classic IDE. Back in the day, VB6 was the go-to tool for rapid application development. It was quick, it was simple, and it let developers build Windows applications without breaking a sweat. Released in 1998, it reigned supreme until Microsoft decided to push .NET and eventually dropped support for it in Visual Studio.
