Not sure I follow your point. You can write really bad C#. And you can write even worse c++. The quality of a language isn't about how bad you can twist it if you decide to be reckless.

In fact I must say one of the things that I appreciate the most about VB, beside case insensitivity is the IDE. I think c# is catching up now but the VB IDE is incredible in term of how much help you get, immediate feedback on what went wrong, rich auto-completion of code.
