Hope that many developpers will answer...

C# Powaaaa ! ;-)

I think so....

C# powaaa - -!

I developed in VB.Net for about 4 years... and moved to C# last year. Sometimes it's much of a much, but I prefer C# syntax to be honest. I find it more explicit and the new language enhancements tend to hit C# first as well. Take delegates as an example. LINQ is also another example of why I prefer C#... it's just much prettier than VB LINQ... and that means easy to read.

I don't think I could go back to full time programming in VB.Net.

My first language was C++ and learned the basics and the structures. Then dabbled some in Java.

My current project is in C#, and have been doing this about 2 years. There is sooo much stuff you don't have to do anymore. C# will make you lazy and if you don't stay in C++, you will forget how to do some things. I was looking at some of my old C++ code the other day, and it took me a while to remember what I was trying to do!

I've done both C# & VB.NET for a number of years now and for the most part they both are same. C# has some small advantages overall, but it also has some annoyances like case sensitivity and semi colon for line termination.
