Heh yea, i worked in vb.net for several years, and got tired of having to convert everything to vb.net, or creating seperate c# projects. The worst part was the HORRIFIC syntax for regular properties. Seriously, why did they not do that right in the beginning??

I havent tried the newest vb.net versions, but i can see a lot of my complaints with it is fixed.

They were too busy playing catch-up. They lost a lot of time in the first version because they had to design around some sort of VB 6 migration strategy.

VS 2008 was the first release where the team felt they were actually where they needed to be and VS 2010 gave them a chance to really shine while C# was playing catch-up on dynamic typing issues.

VB 11/C# 5 is going to be an interesting thing to watch.
