I'm not sure why people are still bashing VB these days. It's grown up quite a bit, with the .NET framework and all (WPF, ADO.NET, LINQ, etc). It's very easy to learn and is just as powerful as C# (outside of syntax, there is no difference between C# and VB.NET).

I think people still have a bad taste in their mouth from VB6, which was admittedly shitty. Do yourself a favor and check out the newer versions.
