I was using Visual Basic 6 for throwing GUI's together. I loved how it loaded and iterated in one second on a 400MHz P3. Then, we got Visual Basic .NET. It took forever to start up. Then, it wasn't really Visual Basic. Then, iterations were slower.

It was going to be a rough trip. I figured I might as well learn something different so the headaches have more of a payoff. I stayed on Visual Basic 6 for a while before quitting it. I'm using Python now and it still doesn't feel as easy as VB6 did.
