My favorite quote from Dan Appleman’s “Visual Basic.Net or C# … Which to Choose“…

Any of you who feel that the syntax: if() { } Issomehow morally superior to: If … Then End If are fools**Originally I was going to say “full of crap”, but my editor felt it was not professionalenough. Consider it said nonetheless.

My interpretation: VB.NET - betterIDE support via full real-time parsing. C# - still considered the “elite” languagethat can demand a higher salary (although 99% the same as VB.NET) and cool embeddedXML documentation (although available to VB.NET through a VS.NET plug-in.) I callit a draw.
