>I want to switch from 5.0 to 6.0. Are there any known traps, tricks, or gotchas involved? Can I uninstall 5.0 and work on all of my apps in 6.0 as long as my VCX's are retained??

You don't have to uninstall 5.0. THey work fine side by sode. As George said, just recompile everything. You can even go back from 6.0 to 5.0 as long as you haven't used any new functions or commands.
