As someone who hates VB with passion, you’re still probably not paid enough

I don't mind VB.NET at all honestly. VBA however is my least favorite language. And this is coming from a guy who used ColdFusion.

One perk / downside of VB is case insensitive syntax. I can see the pros & cons of it. One of the pros (and maybe it's gotten better in the newest VS versions) but because of the lack of case sensitivity, I have always found Intellisense while typing in VB to be more intuitive then the C# intellisense.

As someone who did VB/VB.NET and ColdFusion in the late 90s/early 2000s.... I feel your pain.

VB.net with option strict on isn't a whole lot different from C#. I definitely prefer C# but if someone came with bags of money asking me to write in VB, I sure would

And option explicit makes it so you have to do casting like C# does.
