VB is also very good at databases. And other sorts of internet powered apps(FTP, chat clients).



And as to the question of "if you dont have time to learn a new language how do you have time to code a VB client from scratch"
There are 2 well known VB gnutella clients, both old and neither will connect. The most likely candidate to be updated is Coyotella, but I have never been able to establish a good hookup with it.
