First off, my apologies for speaking so blunt. You may not wrong but I strongly disagree with you.

No. Not at all. It assumes nothing. It simply means that you can take the C# language to another level where VB.NET would not be able to.

But these are features "in the air". It is too generic and sweeping of a statement.

You need to first determine if you used VB correctly. Somehow, a lot of people have been able to build robust scaleable apps in VB. For sure, there are a lot more of them written in VB than in VFP. Also, assuming a limitation exists in VB, how can you ASSUME VB .NET would have the same problems?
FWIW, I don't think you know how to wield the VB tool in an optimal fashion. As I often say, it is the fiddler, not the fiddle...

Give a concrete practical example of when you would have to do this...

I'm not saying that people should abondan VB.NET - however, if someone should ask me "Which Software to use" I would strongly recommend C# and I would state what I've read and what I've experience. It's as simple as that.

Sounds like you are softening your stance - from one of technical superiority that could not hold water to one of preference...
