Let's not get all religious about this, Steve. If people want to code in
VB.Net, that's fine. If they don't, that's fine. I don't see the need for
any "wars" (to quote another contributor) over it. The whole debate is
rather silly. As a developer, all I care about is having the tools I need to
do what I need to do, and knowing how to use them. I don't care what sort of
skin they wear. And I'm not advocating one over the other. What I *do*
advocate is that people who develop software know what the heck they are
doing, and why. That is what makes or breaks a programmer. The best tools in
the world don't make the best developers. And that's got nothing to do with
what language one writes in.
