Updated
twinBASIC aims to be backwards compatible with existing VB6 and VBA projects, while removing many legacy limitations, such as the size of procedures and number of line continuations. Cross platform support is not available yet, but announced in the paid Ultimate edition.

Pros
Pro 100% Backward Compatible with VB6/VBA
Any code that runs in VB6 will run in twinBASIC (once v1 is released). Code that runs in VBA will also run in twinBASIC, though you need to account for any dependencies on the host application's object model (e.g., the Excel or Access Application object).
Pro No runtime requirement
The lack of a runtime dependency makes twinBASIC applications very lightweight and portable. Additionally, compiled executables only include necessary code from any referenced libraries. The classic "Hello, World" program compiles down to an 8 KB .exe with no external dependencies.
