Rob just left a comment asking "what was the driving motive behind my last post". To be honest, that thought just ran through my head as I was reading the linked post on WTF, so figured I would post it.
I'm not really trying to start a language war or anything, but bad VB code does seem to be pervasive (though I will say most of that bad code is from the VB 6 era, unless is ported code to VB.NET, or people are relying heavily on the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace).
As unpopular as the question is (or as much as it looks like a slashdot question), I think it's a legitimate one to ask.
