Why do people still use vb6?

Hi all!

I've noticed many people here are using vb6, what are your reasons for still using it?
I mean Visual Studio express is free with registration and is many time more powerful.

Let me know what you all think.

why are people still driving 20 and more year old cars?

there are really lots of reasons why vb6 is still used - money, people are used to it and no need to update, it still works fine enough for the projects they make and etc.. and etc..

Laziness, I grew up programming vb6 but there's a time to move on...
