Yes, I have heard that. Is there a legitimate reason for that?
Well there are reasons. How legitimate they are is a matter for debate :)
There vb.net team and the c# team inside microsoft are different sets of
people.
This has 2 major advantages for MS...
1.Competing teams promote competition and therefore furthering of the product
suite as a whole.
2.If you didn't have to choose between c# and vb.net, you would have to
find some other holy war to fight over and that (shudder) might have to involve
a non-ms language/practice)
Please note: I really like DotNet, I just really favor multi-language projects.
I'd really like to be able to combine vb.net, c#, c++ and IL in a single
project (and no ILMerge isn't good enough... I want this as an IDE experience)
I think each language has it's place and that each is very good at a particular
set of things. I'd just like to be able to combine the best of each :)
