VS.NET (C#) against VS.NET (VB.NET) about easy of development of GUI

Development of GUI in VS/C# is trivial, whereas in Java it's very
painful. Personally I found my GUI development to take 1/10th of the
time when I switched from Java to C#.

But do all your forms resize nicely? I've found that (prior to WPF)
it's very easy to create a *bad* UI in .NET, but hard to create a
*good* one. Java's layout managers take a while to get used to, but end
up creating a better app.

Oh, and I believe the Java GUI designers have come on a lot in the last
year or so. I haven't used them myself.

Having done a little bit of WPF now, it looks like that will be a
*much* better way of doing UI in my view - especially as it means I can
avoid the designer and still be nice and quick :)

Java and C# both execute pretty quickly - they're both JIT compiled
languages...
Which is faster depends on what you're doing.

For raw processing power, Java is superior (the C# compiler needs
serious work on optimization).

Most optimisation isn't done by either the C# or Java compilers. It's
done by the JITs. I preferred the earlier sentence: it really *does*
depend on what you're doing. If you're using virtual methods which have
never been overridden and can be inlined, Java will be a lot better. In
other cases, C# will be faster. That goes to raw execution as well as
graphic libraries.
