One of the things I really like about VB.NET is how the editor 'fixes' all your indentation, capitalization, etc. This makes it super easy to slap together a UI, and attach some test code (if code is even needed). You can then go to the 'properties' in the design view of the editor, and note the relevant attributes of your controls, and write it in a real language.

That said, I don't know whether to take up C# or not. Sure, it's closer to C++ than is VB, but it's also distressingly similar to Java. Would you happen to know if operator overloading is supported in C#? I'm too lazy to look it up.
