i thought C# and VB.Net are pretty much the same - just a different syntax.
i use VB.Net because i prefer the syntax, although i am also fluent in C#.

AFAIK, it is true - speaking as a former moderator of a .NET forum.

I agree I think the number of c# developers outweighs the VB.net users considerably.
.net is a box of never ending treasures, every day I get find another gem.

It's not the Language, it's the Programmer.
Every Language has been created for specific Domain's of usage. Some are more Domain generic than others, but try to do something that wasn't intended for the language and you will have a hell of a time. Fortran was created for Scientific and Engineering Applications, Perl, it was intended original to be a Report generator language.
VB it was and idea from Microsoft to make it easy to develop simple to medium complexity applications in Windows, If we remember when VB came out it was two ways to create Windows Apps, or using C++ and the MFC or VB. At the moment it was wonderful be able to create a button or a window in such a simple way.
The problem comes out when we Developers try to solve any problem with only one language. And Managers that are trying to standardize the development process with only one language, thinking that in that will be more productive.
For the person that only knows how to use a Hammer, everything is a Nail.

It all depends on the nature of the problem you are trying to address. No language is "best."

May be you need to write a lot more to support your point... even then it won't be sufficient to convince me...
Imagine, with the Help of VB6 (simplicity & RAD techniques)... I wrote my first Windows App (with mouse move actions, buttons, text boxes, combo boxes etc.,) in just half-an-hour back in 1998 (during when I did not even know much about Windows Operating System)
After some time with VB6.. switched to VC++ (Win32 as well as MFC)... bit of a tough start but results were worth it...
Still VB6 is a beginners language of this decade (similar to BASICs in 80s & start of 90s) I would say...!
Had I stick on to VB6... VB.NET would have been my choice.

We use VB for short, quick inhouse projects only.
