Great, I'm the jerk that shows up a few years afterward, inspecting the errant arm and elephant trunk wondering what the actual F the original programmer was thinking.
Then I cut off the trunk and slap a dog nose on it because I hate VB.
WHAT HAVE I BECOME!?
Who let my conscience post online?
I started (professional) coding with VB3 and loved it ... entirely because I had been using Turbo Basic up to that point.
Does anyone still use any version of VB?
The answer to "does anyone" questions is almost always "yes."

I'm pretty sure if I asked "does anybody still use Turbo Basic?" the answer would be "no".
Depends what you mean by "use". I'd be shocked if there aren't any retro-computing hobbyist groups that still dabble in it.
Or if some airline out there isn’t absolutely dependent on it somewhere in the stack
VB .NET is actually not complete madness as it's just C# with another skin
