Even though I'm a C#/F# programmer, I'll offer a better defense of VB.Net: * Method resolution (I actually prefer C#'s but I can see the advantages of VB) * XML Literals * Many more query comprehension operators than C# * Don't have to put `Select` at the end of a query comprehension expression * Filtered Exceptions (coming in C# 6) * Ability to call module functions without fully qualifying the name * The `WithEvents` and `Handles` keywords
