I've actually been using VB6 since '99. Ironically, along with VC6, it's probably the most widely supported,

€ There are free, standards-compliant compilers available, both from Microsoft and others
€ VC6 was written before the C++ language was standardized, and it is nowhere near standards compliant. Especially templates and the standard library live in a world of their own, with no tie to how these features actually work in ISO C++. The language it compiles is not C++. It is a hybrid of pre-standard C++, Microsoft extensions, compiler limitations and bugs. Neither of which are desirable.
€ VC6 is known to generate invalid code in some cases. Not only does it compile a home-made, buggy and nonstandard language, it also makes invalid optimizations causing crashes, or in some cases actually produces bad assembly that simply can not be executed.
