As far as VB6 being expensive... Look into VB.Net via SharpDevelop... its free.
In regards to the drag and drop of windows components to a central form... this isn't stupid, its beneficial. This doesn't make it a "newbie language"... C# does the same thing. VB, basic in general, teaches bad habits... mostly due to syntax and that's it. VB has its place and is very useful in some instances... People who don't understand the potential of a particular language tend to bash it...
To answer the OP's question, I use VB in SharpDevelop and Visual Studio .NET. The applications that I created with VB range from basic games to enterprise level system administration and business applications.
