I "stumble" around with VB.Net just fine, mate. My rules-engine (which drives a large time&attendance application is completely written in VB.Net). C# is a poor knock-off of the C-language, IMHO. I use both (C# and VB.Net) extensively and if given a choice I'll write it in VB.Net. The IDE implementation of VB is superior with it's incremental compiler and tighter integration with Intellisense.

Choose which language you like guy ... just don't assume that using VB.Net is "stumbling around", please. Some of us (30-year experienced) software professionals just plain like it!
