> VB.NET already had this feature
Years ago, I did .NET consulting and switched between C# and VB.NET depending on the client. Exception filters were the only feature from VB.NET that I missed when working in C#. I didn't use them often, but in some cases, they were the cleanest solution.
I've since switched to Ruby and other OSS stacks, but I'm still happy to see C# get this. It's one less argument for anyone to use VB.NET, which has far inferior syntax, in my opinion – especially when working with lambdas or events.
