So, you've seen *all* the .NET programming job ads and made this 3:1 based on that? I think this value is highly speculative and can't be determined unequivacly.

No.

But I know how to use the search field in a job database and
see the hit count in the result.

Today dice.com gives:

C# - 6867
VB.NET - 2512

(that is 2.73:1)

It is also my impression that it is much more common to
teach C# than VB.NET at very educations.

See my first comment.

That is a more qualitative assessment.

But I think it is valid.

I would not consider using VB.NET a risk for the project
long term.

Your opinion and you are entitled to it.

Apparently also your opinion.

Or did you no read what I actually wrote ?
