Default Syntax Stuff
I've noticed that in many programming languages, small stuff matters, like capitalization. Why did the creators make capitalization matter? I don't see the point in that, it just makes the syntax more complicated.

Yup, VB doesn't care what you have capitalized. I'm not sure why they made it that way but it may have been from the Unix/Linux world that it was adopted. Personally, I like it. Even in languages where capitalization doesn't matter I keep the same case on all my variables.
