Well, one purpose would be to remind the Java world how simple software development can be made. Despite having done Java development and not VB for the past decade, I still think that I could go back and develop a standard, desktop, corporate application in half the time using a ten-year-old copy of VB6. Ok, it wouldn't be cross-platform or browser savvy but few corporate apps need those capabilities. They just need to display corporate data to users for whom the data matters, not the delivery platform. AWT was a (bad) joke and Swing based UIs are a pig to develop. They still look worse than the VB6 equivalent (that can often be thrown together and working in ten minutes).
