I’ve been posting all my code in VB.NET and if you haven't figured out by now; it’s my choice of language.
Recently I’ve been debating on moving to C# but am reluctant. Then I ran across this article my friend sent me.

He states it all perfectly. How VB.NET Developers feel.
Should I abandon VB.Net? This is a question that crosses my mind from time to time, but lately it is getting stronger. At least it would make my life simpler. Copy paste coding gets even better when you are a C# programmer since there are so much more examples out there. The community is bigger and better for C#. Even Microsoft discourages the use of VB.Net. If you ever go to something like techdays you will find that VB.Net is nowhere to be found. In that community you will be mocked and ridiculed if you tell them you are a VB.Net programmer. You are looked down upon, even by the spaghetti programmers. But then the .Net community seems to be rude and unfriendly whatever you do. I noticed that when I did my little powershell series over the weekend.
So the question crosses my mind if I was wrong to choose VB.Net ….
Granted he’s a WinForms developer rather then a Web .NET Web Forms or MVC developer but it still applies.
Do I think I should change because of all of the reasons above? Nope, not any time soon.
and he ends it with a great statement:
Don't change things for the sake of change, change things for the better. Let's not forget that even the best and brightest get it wrong.
