When I moved from VB "Classic" to new a language I chose Java. The Netbeans IDE includes a drag and drop WYSIWYG form designer similar to, but slightly better than, VB6 <https://netbeans.org/features/java-on-client/swing.html>. Alas, thick desktop applications are rapidly becoming out of date. When I chose Java it was the most popular language for commercial programming apart from .NET. I was subsequently tempted to move to Python because I have been programming for the Raspberry Pi and Python is the language of choice for the Pi. In addition I find Python more readable than Java. I have been deterred because, like VB, there are two distinct flavours and, unlike VB, there is no IDE with a form designer. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
