The real problem with VB.Net is that it tries too hard to stay compatible with its awful and numbingly failure-prone predecessor (VB6). If you just activate a couple of language features ("option strict", etc.) VB.Net is actually a modern and well behaved language: there's no automatic type conversion, late binding is disabled, etc. Of course, when you do that, you also find out that writing directly in C# is much faster...
