RemoteApp is basically RDP for one single desktop app running on the remote server but launched and run to appear like a local app. It's improved a lot over the past decade+
There's an extra interesting feature there where the remoteapp windows are aware of each other. It's a niche use case, but the remote side counts as one session, so apps can interact and automation/accessibility mostly works as expected. Although the local system still sees the remote apps as opaque rectangle rather than widgets.
This software is excellent for keeping a fast local searchable catalog of the filenames from all your drives, even after they are unplugged or powered off.

VB6 is arguably the most popular and influential version of Basic it only makes sense to keep backwards compatibility with it. Why would anyone not want that from their Visual Basic clone?
because that's immensely backwards! what if vb3-6 had the same syntax as msbasic and same ascii text based UIs? it wouldn't have been as popular.
these tools could be the modern vb6, having modern UX paradigms such as responsive design etc... yet it is just producing something one would use only for nostalgia or explicitly support for a niche market still needing actual vb6... which i didn't know existed till now.
There's nothing stopping anyone from building responsive UI components in this or even in Visual Basic itself. I thought were were talking about VB6, the programming language, not the UI toolkit. They are closely related but not necessarily the same thing.
Given that there are already other, more modern, languages and frameworks that do you want you describe I don't think there is a market for that kind of modern Basic. That's why nobody has done it.
The nearest thing is probably a Monaco based IDE that generates self-contained executables (like VB before .Net) with modernization for todays OS ecosystem.

Alt-drag from the parent folder... so that's the workaround... thanks for the tip on handling this deprecated feature.
Not only has the folder address icon-drag been lost in the name of progress, so too have dozens of previously useful keyboard shortcuts, plus the core ability to re-dock Windows Start Bar onto any edge of the screen... nowadays in Win11 we are restricted to only docking at the bottom.
