VB includes a wide variety of visual tools, which may be used to create advanced applications with an extended GUI. Thus, VB is more than a programming language. It also includes a variety of libraries, which are useful for creating object-oriented programs. Programs usually involve large development teams working on projects simultaneously.

While many developers look down on Visual Basic as an antiquated language, one cannot deny that there is a ton of VB code out there. So while most Microsoft-centric developers would rather use C#, there will be work in VB for a long time given its widespread use in the past.
