I like this sentence from the article.

80% of C# programmers are good, while 80% of VB programmers are not good.

This means that there are in fact confirm the writter much more good VB
programmers than C# programmers in absolute figurs.

I guess it's because VB is easier to pick up ... hence it attracts less
skilled developers.

I found this to be the case with classic VB developers who pick up VB.NET.
They assume VB.NET is the same as VB6 ... and they end up writing horrid
non-OO code.

However, if you get someone who is comfortable in an OO environment
(Java/C#/C++, etc)... VB.NET, C#, etc won't really make a difference.
