VB Developer for 20 years. Love the language and the tools.
I have been developing a graphics engine in vb for several years, I love this language
I think vb is a terrific language for all the factors mentioned. Let's face it high level languages are all much of a muchness - an if statement is the same regardless of the language used, same with a loop and all the other basics of programming. Whether for example asking if Python is better than VB is the same a asking if Ford is better than GM. To be perfectly candid there seems to be a lot of snobbery surrounding programming languages. I think the primary reason VB has never really taken off is because Microsoft's promotion was poor. Let's face it, if you're serious about programming then C would be your best starting point if only for the fact that it's lean and devoid of gimmicks. Me, I'm into using any language that does of job in a efficient and effective manner; for a good 90% of application VB meets these criteria.
Thanks awefully for the post and I look forward to the next one😊

Using VBA today is like using Microsoft paint to write an essay. I know way to many people who turn Excel into a Frankenstein tool with VBA that no one but the developer can use. I would not waste time on it unless you are doing adhoc solutions.
