Sometimes it does matter, the VB and C# compilers both generate IL but it is not the same in terms of the physical instructions that are produced.

For example VB.Net 1.1 relied heavily on reflection to implement some of its feature set to the point that they (MS) did a lot of work for 2.0 in that area of the VB compiler to speed things up.
