And why are they still using something made in 1998 when there are far modern solutions out there?

Doesn't matter if it's individual programmers or people selling software. Because yes, there are still people selling software based on VB6 even when their competitors have moved onto web apps and the like.

> why do people want to create UIs visually

It's a mystery!

Rewrites cost money and introduce uncertainty, especially if the crusty old system is otherwise bulletproof. Same reason your bank probably has an old IBM mainframe being emulated somewhere in its systems.

Modern solutions are Rube Goldberg machines in search of problem.

You could always use python's tkinter, along with "PAGE" which is a graphical editor for tkinter similar to Visual Studio. Python has pretty much every library out there that you could need unlike VB or C#.

It was the best Visual Basic version, the more modern ones suck. And it still perfectly works, so why not.
I don't like the Visual Basic language much however, I prefer javascript by far. But the software itself, how you easily build windows and manage everything with events, is great.

My customers would fucking kill me if I made UIs that outdated looking.
And it's not only the look that's all wrong wiht Tkinter shit. It feels like non native dogshit, too.

Tried and true, well tested.

What UIs are you making these days?

It does compile to machine code so it's much faster than C#.
