Chiming in for VB.NET here :)
I learnt programming in BASIC way back when 16KB was a lot of memory. I started with ZX Basic (don't ask), then on to GFA Basic (Atari ST anyone ?), GW-Basic, Borland Turbo Basic, MS QuickBasic and finally Visual Basic before I started working as a professional programmer. I can't seem to get my affinity with its queer syntax out of my system.
Although I have since programmed mostly in C, C++ and (some) Java, my current position requires me to (mostly) use VB.NET and to my surprise I'm enjoying it immensely, especially since MS has given the old lady a nice OO face lift. I guess old habits die hard.
I haven't really done anything useful in C# yet so when that time comes I may yet swing away from the "dark side" again but until then its VB.NET all the way !
