I understand why MS has been trying to merge the feature sets of the two languages. There is just too much legacy VB code out there to ignore. However, I think that because the two languages share the same runtime, and that IMHO C# is the more modern language, VB needs to head towards deprecation. I find that they are similar enough that any VB programmer should be able to read C# with out too much hassle, and things could move forward more quickly if they werent maintaining two languages.
