Personally I think the future of vb is not looking too good. With the premature release of vb 5 the trust that was gained by vb 4.2x that became a very solid product, is so good as gone. And I think it will be impossible to get that trust back anytime soon. A lot of forums left/are leaving vb for better alternatives. Most notable some of the biggest forums that once were the walking advertisement of vb 's popularity. Not to mentioned the coders and a lot of helpful users too.
If IB does not change its policies soon and make vb 5 a really great and solid product like vb once was, then vB is as good as finished imho.
