languages that used brackets looked like voodoo to me at the time Hah, exact same here. I started with VB5/6 and it was so much easier to build a graphical Windows app than using scary C++ MFC. In VB6 you could just drag your "Winsock1" over to your "Form1" and start writing networking code quite easily. Honestly though, to add some sneering hipsterism, Visual Studio is light-years better these days if you're just trying to crank out a basic app. So it does confuse me why anyone would choose VB.NET now over C#.
