The easiest jump may be python with tkinter or wxpython for gui stuff.
The nice thing about both toolkits is they are very complete. wxpythons
is much larger and about 300 bazzillion more things that it can do. It
is also a big of a challenge (or was 4 years ago) to get setup.

Python has a builtin GUI IDE that will be appreciated by a VB
user(/usee). Plus python does about anything.
