I used vb5 before I switched to vb.net 2005. I'd say that vb.net is more powerfull but slightly harder to use but not dramatically harder. I wouldn't expect that you would have any problems picking it up. I'd say vb.net is better if you are doing any somewhat complicated program especialy if it is object oriented. Here would be my list of pluses and negatives.

Plus:

1 better at object oriented stuff
2 an extensive library that I think is identical to the one in c# and c++. It lets you do a some things that were hard or impossible to do in earlier vbs.
3 The intellisense is better than the one in vb5 (I never used vb6 so I can't speek for that).

Negative:

1 have to declare ALL variables
2 arrays have to start at zero (no base 1)
3 theres no simple built in one word functions. Instead you use the class library and create an object from a class then use it. This is more capable generally but its not quite as simple use.

They also changed a few other things like some of the data types. For instance int is now 32 bit instead of 16.
