Well, to be fair, my comparison is really more about the bias I've built up against the typical VB crowd than the language itself. My first language was QBasic. I did a lot of classic VB. Never really had to use VB.NET all too much thankfully. It's a good tool for what it's intended for.

But the main reason would be I just don't like the mentality of the typical VBer, which is lazy when it comes to learning how to effectively program. Not all VB devs are like that of course, but you get the idea. I have the same issue with FoxPro devs.

I do think C#'s syntax is much cleaner and more elegant though. Which can lead to less typing errors. Which would be enough of a reason for me to choose C# over VB.NET, regardless of the typical VB crowd.
