Is Visual Basic 6 still useful for building small desktop tools?

Hi everyone,
I recently came across some older projects built with Visual Basic 6 and it made me curious about how many developers still use it today.
I know newer technologies like VB.NET and C# are more common now, but I’ve heard some people still maintain legacy applications using VB6.
For those who have experience with it:
• Do you still use Visual Basic 6 for any projects?
• Is it still good for building small desktop tools?
• What are the main limitations compared to newer languages?
I’d be interested to hear your thoughts and experiences.
Thanks!
