In IEEE, VB is way way down the list. Do IEEE members use VB less?

TIOBE measures social media chatter. Odds are there are far more people posting noise about VB just due to the low barrier of entry.

Also if I recall correctly VB is heavily used to customize Excel spreadsheets, which contributes to a larger potential userbase than any programming language.
