So I think you get the idea from the thread title lol... Any quote bashing, putting down, or outright spazzing out at VB (or anything *.NET for that matter) is welcome!

As for VB, I hate it as well. You loose all power in that environment.

No no, no insulting .NET. :)

[Steve.L]

YES!!! That's the whole point of this thread!!
Cmon people, post some quotes, I know there's more out there!!

[Steve.L]

Err, click the arrow beside the quote and it brings you to the original LOL. I included all post numbers in the quotes for easy referral, foreseeing that you would ask such a question!

The one from me was in a thread asking about new languages to learn.

Hmm, I think programming can be thought of like walking in a huge city. With assembly, you'll have to find the way yourself, no signs or anything. (Barely roads :D) With VB, it's like your mother is dragging you around in a specific direction, not letting you go into the places you really wish.. I hate that.. Now, somebody can quote me :)

[Steve.L]

lol that's an interesting analogy there marwex.

[marwex89]

lol I think it fits :D

I haven't got into VB; but I will try out it, to see it's "uselessness" with my eyes; hopefully someday;; but not today :D

[Dren]

I don't think VB is that useless :$

[WingedPanther]

It's not useless, just limited. One of the nicest Go clients I've seen is written in VB. I've seen a few other nice VB programs, too. On the other hand, having to install the .NET runtimes (or Mono) just to run a VB app is REALLY annoying.
