Did VB way back in 1993-94. Learning and using VB was very easy then, and we did very good programming with it, and it helped my team at Lansa USA, Chicago, manage SQL Server connectivity to AS-400 (PowerBuilder was the front-end tool) for the 1st time. Now, after so many years, VB is still the same as far as the learning curve is concerned... Quite Easy!
We were much impressed with VB then (it was VB ver. 3 I think, not very sure, but it was very powerful even then). It was the same time when we could have concentrated on a new application -- JAVA! I opted for VB (as SW development tool with GUI), Sybase (on UNIX), SQL Server (Windows and NT), and PowerBuilder (GUI, Front-end tool) -- and neglected JAVA, because we were not sure THEN, and we wondered -- for what purpose we could possibly use Java?! (1993)
