In future, you might want to quote either the entire article or the most
important part of it (especially the "too much for them" bit):

"The primary reason VB usage might go down is that fewer companies are
building desktop applications (VB's primary design center)," Manes said.

"Today's focus is on Web applications. For VB 6.0 developers that found the
shift from VB 6.0 (non-object-oriented) to VB.NET (object-oriented) too much
for them, they would find PHP and Ruby appealing.

"Other developers that embraced the shift to OO concepts would find C# even
more appealing. A small fraction of these developers might shift to
Java-especially if they needed to write portable applications."

Abvout the "focus is on Web applications".
I think they group "web development" under asp.net, and
don't count how many people are using vb to do that.
