So the winners are ...
1 Visual Studio 2013
2 Visual Studio 2010
3 Visual Studio 6
Almost 1 in 4 developers still using VS6. This is obviously to support the huge amount of VB6 programming still out there.

It seems unlikely that 24% of new projects are developed in VB6 on VS6, yet lots of people have to load a piece of legacy code and fix, debug, or convert something once in a while.
Perhaps it would be more useful to ask which version people use for new projects?

I think people use VB6 for new projects. This is what I see daily, in large part because VB6 applications are made quickly and are optimal (and very fast).

VS2010 as we're still on XP, and VS6 for VB6.
cutting edge us

it's a merge with the equivalent Stone Age poll results, isn't it?

Not that surprising. There are still 14 billion lines of VB6 programming in use in businesses (Gartner research).
That still needs supporting and modifying. Fortunately Microsoft support VB6 until 'at least' 2024 and VB6 installs and runs on Windows 7, 8 and 10.

Reminds me of a joke I once heard...
Programming is a lot like s*x. Make one mistake and you have to support it forever.
VB6 must die.

Microsoft is on a very high pressure from the VB community, consistently. Thus, they extended the support for Visual Basic 6 until 2024. Visual Basic 6.0 is the best language of 2014 ... see the comments and polls. It is said to be by far the best language from Microsoft and the language with the most source code from the Internet. Even I wrote an article on this topic.

ISplitter, your article was and still is excellent.

thank you Dave . The article presents only some truths that we all know, I just put them in text.

Microsoft now have a policy for programming languages they no longer wish to support. They give them to the .Net Foundation

Do you have a link to those claims?
a) 14 Billion of lines of VB6 (Gartner Research)
b) Microsoft supports VB6 until 'at least' 2024?
We are planning our migration of our application off VB6 and it would be good to backup the migration strategy with some of these claims.

Hi,
I no longer use vb6 fortunately but many ex collegues of mine still use it because the company invested a lot of money in those application and they are not ready to reinvest to be ported or rewritten(most likely)
Not sure if you are in employment or not but in the real world is a luxury to work on greenfield projects,most of the companies I have worked for have legacy application.
I still support .net 2.0 apps and work on .net 2013 all c# and 1 vb app
Welcome to the real world!!!

Why "fortunately" ? Visual Basic 6.0 is the best language of 2014 ... see the comments and polls

Yes, but...look at what is in second and third places, and it's clear it's a joke. I mean...Python and Java?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

"I mean...Python and Java?"
Tiobe has Java in second place (forecast to rise to first place) and Python eighth. And LangPop also has Java second and Python fifth. And IEEE Spectrum have Java first and Python fifth.

TIOBE has lost credibility when they downgraded Visual Basic 6.0 from place 3 on place 10 (just a few months ago). Thus, we can clearly see that TIOBE was forced to downgrade VB6 (presure from Microsoft) !

knowing I'm not the only one still using VS6 for legacy projects.
|
|
|
|
|
actually most programmers use VS6 to this day

Apart from Visual Studio, the .NET compiler is available as open source with some cool new features which I've been looking at.

I voted for VS 2013, and VS6. I would like to add: 90% VS6 (VB6) and 10% VS2013!
