When I was a fresh graduate, I swore I was never going to program in VB. Now I've grown very used to the VB.NET syntax, and when I go back to other languages, I hate two things: - case sensitivity and - the semicolon (;) I can live with curly braces ({}) :) though having each line be its own statement is very convenient. There are several things to dislike about the VB.NET syntax (Dim being the most egregious), but I think many languages could adopt some of its benefits. Groovy in particular did away with the semicolon, and I'm glad :)
