Do poeple take C-like syntax as some 'be-all-end-all' solution to problems?
No, C++ is simply the most common language, and for a variety of reasons, an important tool for any programmer to know.

I get the feeling that you fols would not like VB even if it had ; and {}'s.
Of course not - syntax is irrelevant, a few braces would not stop VB from being crap.

- VBers only have to hit ENTER at the end of each line
- VBers don't have to play match the braces when they start to get into some deep nested situations. They have an 'END...' or a 'NEXT...' to help them
- VBers get a way better forms designer than C++ could ever hope for. (Everett not included here)
In other words, VBers are treated like idiots because they need all the help they can get ? END and NEXT are totally superfluous, anyone who can't figure out how to line up braces should start with Logo and build their way up to programming.

Visual *Basic* .. its all in the title.. and sorry but
For counter = 1 to 100
{
Debug.WriteLine(counter.ToString);
}
or
For counter = 1 to 100
Debug.Writeline(counter.ToString)
Next counter
to me just doesn't look good.. it doesn't feel right.. get ride of the Debug.Writeline and it looks like QuickBasic.. hmm.. Visual Basic .. QuickBasic .. kind of sounds the same.. and anyways how it that loop suppose to do something like this
for(int i = 0; i < CMyClass.GetMaxCount(); i+=*4)
{
// do some cool stuff
}

I didn't necessarily mean semi-colons and braces, but hey whatever floats your boat.
I think everyone here needs to go get a stress test.
NOW CALM DOWN BEFORE ANYONE ELSE GETS FRANTIC !!!
If someone says something a little too off you might start a CP war between VBers and C++/C# guys
OK - VB really does stand for visual basic, BASIC, that all it is or does BASIC. It's name says it all
 I'm just gonna sit back and wait for the comments to fly, have fun.;)

VB.Net goes well beyond what it used to be.
Is there a worthy thread/spot/link/anything which compares amongst the .Net choices what you simply can/can't do in regards to OO, reuse, GUIs, etc not holding water? Be useful to know upfront rather than getting deep into one and finding, yes in fact, these limitations might be real issues.

Please re-read the post and add a hint of sarcasm. I was just trying to make a point that everyone was almost having a conniption.

Why continue to kick a corpse?
Everything that can be said about VB has been said, its not the C++ programmers fault that most VB programmers haven't taken onboard our enlightened criticism

That's a pretty damn good way of ending an argument. I'll remember that for my next team meeting.
Thanks MPB.
