Only thing I can see that is a considerable negative about .NET is that you need to install the whole framework even when most programs will barely begin to use a tenth of it. So I think as someone mentioned in another thread could be good to see it compile and include only the necessary stuff (could have my terms mixed up still learning).

Anyway I imagine VB6 development will still be quite prevalent for at least a few more years.
