It seems one of these threads pop up or get revived every few months.
People need to understand that 6 was simply 1 version of Visual Basic along its evolution. It was different before and after, there is no reason to think that MS will ever go backwards and revisit a project they released 16 years ago.

There will be no new version of VB6 6 is the version and they have since released 7, 8,9, 10,11 .... the next one will look more like the last one and will not look at the version 6.

Yes there are pros to VB6 but there are also pros to the later versions, a lot of them and after getting used to the new versions and going back it is somewhat painful to use VB6
