Since the creation of the .Net Framework developers have been bickering over what language is better. Better is not the best word to use because there is a great deal of myths surrounding VB.Net in regards to its implementation.
I have read stories how several VB6 developers believe that in order to program in .Net it would require C#, VB.Net is only for web development, and that VB is going away. Well, just to set the record straight C#, VB.Net C++.Net, and J# can all be used in programming within .Net, VB.Net can be used in web development and in application development, and VB is not going away.
With the coming release of VS.Net 2005 the public will see that C# supports a handful of new features that VB.Net doesn't support. From my stand point I believe that Microsoft is sticking true to what they have said all along. VB.Net and C# are both languages designed upon the .Net Framework, however, one will a few features the other doesn't. If the languages were the same it wouldn't make any since for Microsoft to maintain both languages.
My stance on the battle is that VB.Net is better of the two langauges. For me it all boils down to the fact I don't like visiting semi-colon land and the simple fact VB is much easier to read/work with than C#.
The battle continues ...
