&lt;p&gt;C# codes are hard and uncomfortable&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but vb codes are as powerful as c# codes but more easier&lt;/p&gt;

I came from a .NET shop and preferred VB.NET, although I didn't mind C# because it was similiar to Java. I always liked Java, but thought that its biggest problem was the lack of a good IDE. Then along came .NET and C# which made that mostly moot since C# is so Java-eque.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My problem now is I transferred to a place where they are using LOTUS-FREAKING-NOTES as the application development &amp;quot;language&amp;quot;. The worst part is that I can't even find any good resource arguments online to back up my claims that Lotus Notes is garbage and that we should switch to a real programming language like Java or .NET because it's like trying to make an argument in favor of using a car vs. a tricycle. The comparison is so absurd its not even necessary. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm still banging my head on the desk from frustration. Using Lotus Notes as an application development language is about as effective and fun as trying to build a house using a pile of toothpicks and a screwdriver. Use C# or VB.NET and count your blessings :(&lt;/p&gt;

It was #1 on the list for the C# developers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As (beta) shipment neared, it was apparant that they were NOT going to get to item #17. An uproar [internal to MS] occured, &amp;quot;We have to have generics BECAUSE C# does!&amp;quot;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As a result 6 items which were deemed more important than generics [by user survey, internal analysis, etc] were abandoned for this release!!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now we hav a language wich supports a given feature, NOT because it was a top ranking request, NOT because it was internally deemed technically important, BUT simply to appease a complaint that was marketing related!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://weblogs.asp.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=200833" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
