Is VBScript the only language you've used? Obviously VB.NET is closer
to VBScript.

C# is closer to JavaScript and C++.

How many years of experience do you have? C# is more popular as your
experience level goes up. It's also more popular for advanced apps,
although VB.NET is NOT in any way a weaker language.

VB.NET is more popular among people who primarily make web apps.
