IMO, if Wayne and Olaf cooperate, there will be a "1 + 1 > 3" effect, that is, the development progress will be 3 times that of the current.
With Olaf's views about what the future of VB6 should be I'm not too disappointed; he doesn't seem like he would be willing to drop the whole RC6 and no native, VB-compatible UI things.

The lack of a true Win32 UI for the IDE was quite an adjustment, but especially with the new revamped post-423 IDE I've largely gotten comfortable with it as a daily driver; the modern editor amenities help a great deal with that. But @Chenzen, it's nowhere near as sophisticated as tB but you do know VB6 does have some color options, right? A few years back I changed it to a black editor background. There's addins that even allow using arbitrary colors instead of the small set in the built in editor; I made mine look more like tB lol
