In other words, I think it's more about what your used to :)

Well I guess most of the VBers just get used to the problems with VB but
that doesn't mean those problems don't exist. I found it quite frustrating
to use and found that it slowed my progress every minute of every day. In
some cases on the celery 2.6 it couldn't even keep up with my typing,
sometimes making me wait for 10 or 20 seconds at a time.

Maybe... Maybe not. I'm not so sure about that - when Option Strict On.

Even with option strict on VB isn't as strict. I can't remember the exact
checks, I'd have to fire VB up to find out.
