| Jan 14, 2011 at 16:37 | comment | added | Shog9 | @Tim: I dislike VB[.NET] because most of the code I encounter is untyped spaghetti code written by programmers who picked it up on the job years ago (or were taught by such coders). That's not necessarily a good reason for anyone else to dislike it though. A better reason is simply that the language has made far too many concessions to backwards compatibility... and yet isn't actually backwards compatible. So unless you're looking to write new untyped spaghetti code... | |

I was expecting to find out why you dislike VB.NET and/or why you like C#. "For new projects, VB.NET is a strange choice" Why? | |

I think inline XML generation could be a useful feature; I try not to use XML (and have been successful for the last 5 years!), but if I have a .net project that needs to generate lots of XML I'll probably create a VB project just for the XML generation. | |
