Why I Hate VB Today

delete this;Gary Wheeler, Is your code in Visual Basic? No Visual Basic up to VB 6 was good, but VBA and VBScript are completely different languages in my opinion. I must be the only one here that likes Visual Basic. But have never got round to learning VBA and try not to use VBScript as Netscape and some other browsers still don't support it.

C# is the VB for developers that enjoy writing .NET code using the (arcane) C/C++ syntax! Just let it go and enjoy your preferred language.
1.) I don't try and be an expert in every language so I picked one and VB was the one I chose. 2.) I can use VBA in many other applications like MS Excel, AutoCAD, and others with ease. 3.) I can use VBA in Automation HMI projects which is the standard and not C,C#, or other C types. 4.) It is quick to use since I am fluent in VB6, VB.NET, VBScript, VBA. 5.) I does what I need it to do why force myself to learn C# more than I know now I rather learn LISP if I have to work with parenthses and extra characters for line terminations and wrapping. I suggest everyone just pick a language and use it. If it doesn't accomplish what you want and C#, C++, HTML, JScript, Java, LISP, or any other language does then learn and use it. It's about the project not what language one uses.
