Rephrasing the poll question...

[Marc Clifton]

Is VB.NET an abortion you take seriously or do dead fetuses from the VB6 days still hold sway? (I decided not to post this in the poll's message section. Oooh, my first and last smart move for the day). Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

How I see it (using your terms) VB6- is/was the abortion, and its many class libs just more dead fetuses. VB.NET is just a retarded child. C++ is the child prodigy.
