It's a bit unfair to hold a languages name against it isn't it? The fact of
the matter is that VB.NET 2003 can do pretty much all the things C# can do,
and in a syntax that many find easier and more compelling. Now, Whidbey
appears to dramatically change the languages, C# for the better and VB.NET
for the worse, which is why I switched to C#. Nonetheless as a VB.NET
programmer before my "conversion" I was more advanced than all the C#
developers in our company. It's not the language that defines your ability,
it's your ability that wields the language.
