Peter,
I find that you are very negative writing about C#.
It has inherited a lot of the good things from other program languages
(including VB6).
I would sure not compare it in a direct line with the first program
languages which were developed as you do, however you are of course free to
do that.
By the way the culture shock for the VB6 users to the first VB for Net, was
much more then those who came from the then existing C type program langages
to C#. The way VB was first changed was dramatic for some. There has been
later added a lot to VB to let the classic VB users as well accept it. (Not
that I like "those" additions).
An example Jon Skeet writes side by side Java and C# as far as I know.
(Although I have seen he becomes beter and beter in VB for Net too).

I think a lot of this boils down to what Nigel Shaw once referred to as the
"culture" from which each language came. C# was created from the ground up
specifically to target the .NET Framework whereas VB.NET "came from" the
original classic Visual Basic - which "came from" the original BASIC, and
so
on, ad nauseum.
