Still used heavily - but not in industry exactly. It is used mainly for creating little button macros in Excel documents to do some calculations in the document.

It is generally not used directly - Excel lets you record a macro, where it will transform the user's clicks and actions into VB script directly. Users can then add this script to a button, and can repeat their actions by clicking on the button. So not a programming language, but more of a macro language.



There are companies that still sell desktop software written in VB 6.
