VB is great for teaching people programming concepts, and once you get the main concepts you can take your knoledge to another language. The ideas are basically the same, the sytnax is different.
Have you learnt VB and then tried to learn a more low-level language like C++? I have. It's hell. VB totally distorts all your ideas of how programming should be and makes it very difficult to understand the small intricacies of C or C++. A good example being pointers.
