Think about it, if XYZ company solid cars with no choice, just black color, surely people would go for other car brand, its marketing and promotions. I still think it is better to address the competitive advantage rather than disadvantages of each language. One advantage of VB programmers is that they can focus on the business process implementations and not just debug code (funny, why compile twice, once in your brain and second in computer’s CPU) , too much space for errors can confuse and make you loose track of your goal. To get knowledge you must share it first.

Nothing is hard unless you dont know it, same with spoken languages. arabic is hard for non arabs (specially the odd looking letters), but it is easier for arabs to write a whole arabic book than speak a single sentence in English, it is really what you know best. But as a VB6 (vb.net now) programmer, I can tell you one VB advantage over C#, it is fully supported in MS office (as Macros), luckily everyone has MS office, no need to download a complier or install one. It is nice to show a trick or two when a friend has MS office installed on his computer and you can immediately code and compile. To get knowledge you must share it first.
