Microsoft's phase-out of Visual Basic 6 and move to Visual Basic .Net set up an uproar in the ranks of some of Microsoft's most loyal developers. Earlier this year, several thousand developers, including many Microsoft MVPs (Most Valuable Professionals), signed a petition calling for Microsoft to continue to support VB6. However, enhancements in the VB platform stand to bring some of those people back.

I agree.I contribute to various projects, many of which are C# ones. However, there are no problems in that because I simply do my job with my language of choice (I prefer VB.NET when there's no need to use C#), compile, deploy... et voilà... no hassle.
That's a very good thing indeed.

100% ACK. After 3 years in .NET, it doesn't make a difference. The syntax itself moves in the background, what becomes more important are coding patterns, usage of the BCL and the concepts.
It's really a thing about your personal preference - regardless what these VB.NET-haters out there might tell. In my team there are 2 VB.NET programmers and 2 C# guys - they're working on the same project. And without any problems.
