I laughed at some of the things you said. IT managers, etc. It brought back memories! :)

VB.NET is a useful tool, as is C#. I began using VB.NET and it was OK. Then our department standardized using C#. I like C# more.

I do not mind using any software development tool. Some are more fun then others. But getting back to IT managers, I have met very few who had the ability to sit on their own hands, and had any human qualities! :)
