The first source control system I ever used.  It's rather limited
compared to other systems, but as a single developer I found it
perfectly adequate, and it was beautifully simple to use compared to CVS
etc.  No integration with Explorer etc. is required and it provided
command lines tools you could integrate into makefiles etc.

See this is a move I really don't want to make.  I use VB6 all the time
to create simple engineering test applications/GUI's etc. and whilst it
certainly has it's limitations, it also has excellent debugging, runs
nicely on older PC's and creates compact executables without a grossly
bloated run time library. =20

IME C#/VB.Net development brings older PC's to their knees, the
executables appears to run no faster than VB6, and slower in many cases
and the .Net runtime is an absolute monster.  The debugging is hit and
miss, trying to move the execution point back and forward frequently
results in a crash.
