Visual Basic is a GUI-based development tool with graphical aspects that requires a significant amount of space, It requires a great deal of memory for initial installation and in order to function efficiently after installation.

Disadvantages of Visual Basic

Visual Basic is a powerful language but it is not suited for programming, It is much slower than other languages, It is a proprietary programming language written by Microsoft, so, The programs written in Visual basic cannot easily be transferred to other operating systems.

There are some fairly minor disadvantages compared with C, C has a better declaration of arrays, It is possible to initialize an array of structures in C at declaration time, this is impossible in Visual Basic.

More memory space is required to install and work in Visual Basic as VB is GUI based development tool,  It contains Graphical components that need more space, Visual Basic is not very useful for making programs that use a lot of processing time such as the games.
