Re: Pondering the dev tool landscape from an outsider

Ah, no I didn't realize that the VB team didn't actually use the
language, though it makes the bizarre path to .Net a little clearer.
While it is plain that .Net has some clear technical advantages to
classic VB, completely breaking backwards capability is unforgiveable.

A bit off-topic, but I have heard from multiple places (though I can't
recall which) that the VB.NET team wasn't actually composed of the VB6 team
and that has a lot to do with the breaking changes in the language, though I
don't know how to confirm that "rumour".


Thanks,
