I'd reply in PM but the super admin started the derailment in the first place. ^_^
Naw, I don't code drivers, I work on tools and apps. Visual Studio .net is nothing short of pure, pure hotness. It's ridiculous how fast I can get stuff done. It shines most when you want, say, a quick webpage for a survey that stores the results in a SQL Server database and has another webpage which charts and graphs the results. I did something like that in just under three days. For larger projects that have a more complex architecture or websites where you're authoring your own custom controls, it's still useful - a very well designed IDE that helps scale well. But throwing something together quickly becomes extremely easy.
The autocompletion actually makes VB's syntax bearable.
Plus anything you can do in one language you can do in another, which is useful. I switch back and forth between VB.net and C# constantly because there's a good deal of older code to support written in VB.net.
C# is great. As far as I'm concerned it's Java.
