I also studied and used (just for fun) C# and even took 2 classes in junior colleges for C#.

I hated VB6 but actually enjoy VB.NET. I'd still much rather be dealing with VFP's dml for data but it isn't end-of-the-earth stuff.

There's a lot of features that VB.NET has that VFP doesn't that I like in fact. The real bummer for me at the moment is the performance of the VS ide. I find it slow and clunky which affects productivity.
