| I'd say keep the Visual Studio(.net) and learn it if you can, but keep with the VB6 as well. Microsoft is well known for giving programs what they want, so there is a good chance they might revamp VB.NET and then you would have a jump on it.
The coding is the part I don't like about Visual Studio(DOTNET version). Coding in VB6 is very straight forward and has a lot of drag-n-drop. VB.NET is more like Visual C+. Not real user friendly and more time consuming.
I think the VB.NET is a lower language so it probably has less overhead/fat and a bit faster running. As you know the problem with programming games in VB6 is they are too slow, or so they say. I've seen some very good VB6 games. But I'm sure the .net versions do access the graphics adapter faster and more efficiently than the VB6. For this reason it should make a better gaming language.
