I often ask questions like "Things that .NET is easy to do and VB is very difficult to do" or "What excellent software developed by .NET that VB6 can't do". I don't want to despise .NET, but instead I'd like to learn some valuable ideas or solutions from .NET. But I've never got any satisfactory answer from the supporters of .NET. Maybe those real .NET experts are not interested in browsing vbForums.
Once you go away from the desktop, (where essentially VB6 and .Net are trying to solve the same problems in the same way and so you will find little of anything one can do that the other can not do), and your looking at Web Mobile and Cross platform then i believe my statement from a previous post is valid here

This is exactly the kind of stuff i am talking about, Xamarin, .NET Core, ASP.Net MVC 5 there recent strategy over development tools is much more joined up and gives you a set of tools as a developer where you can create modern apps across pretty much any type of device all out of Visual Studio.
In the latest Visual Studio (2017 and up) i can create Desktop, Web & Mobile apps all using C# (.Net) all with a single IDE. I can create native Mobile apps that are cross platform and even do IOT dev and Unity game development if i so wished.

Also With .Net Core you eliminate the .Net framework as it packages the libraries you use with the app and so you dont need a framework installed.

The ability to target all sorts of devices and platforms with a single language (with the addition of JavaScript in Web & XAML in Mobile) is a powerful thing IMO.
