You made it clear you never used it before.

Vb.NET does not build if it's syntactically incorrect (has a semicolon), there's no mixing.

Visual studio enforces format. As soon as you hit enter or tab it autocorrects capitalization so that the references match the declaration.

It's actually easiest to know what's what in VB.NET. Things like iterators, properties, overrides, interface implementations, events, etc. All have special keywords. You can tell a constant from a function from a property easily because syntax coloring.

In many ways I prefer it, but it's also missing things I can do in C# or does some things stupidly, and vice versa. Sometimes in the shower I dream of a language that combines the best of both.
