It never was and never will be identical to C#. They share a lot but there are hundreds if not thousands of subtle differences between the two. It's just easier for people to 'think' that VB is just C# with a search and replace because... that's a lot shorter to say. If you were to look at the compilers themselves or try to write a perfect automatic conversion tool you'll quickly see that far from identical.
For example, VB Select Case and C# switch work nothing like each other.
