Do you prefer C# or Visual Basic .Net? [closed]

Question

What do you see as benefits for one over the other? As far as I know, it's just preference. I have way more experience with C# than I do with Visual Basic and was wondering if I should dabble in Visual Basic for certain types of projects?

Answer 1

VB4 was my first language, with VB6 being the last time I touched it. I have moved to c# and wouldnt consider going back. VB just feels too fat and fluffy for me (preference).

All the .NET languages compile to IL though...

Note: c# is "closer" to java...

Answer 2

I personally prefer C#, I love the syntax and I feel really comfortable with the language.

Some say that C# programmers are paid better than VB programmers, but I think you should try both languages and see on which you fell better.
