Nowadays, do you use any language which is not C like?
Regarding VB, the language is used by many people whose main occupation is not software development, and even for those doing software there are many who find C# or similar looking languages aren't a panacea (I do, and have around 15 years of C# experience).
In some cases VB is also less redundant than C#, it has better type inference for example.
I'm sure plenty of pascal/delphi developers are also fine without C#.
You should understand that other languages than C/C++/C# make different syntax choices, and it is not hurting C# in anyways that such language exist and prosper.
Note that I had a lot of prejudice against VB but I came back from that perspective, and in the meantime, I feel additions to C# language push it in territory where the syntax is getting really noisy / clumsy (I've picked up F# so I use that it as a metric).
