All fair points foxwood and I've wondered that myself sometimes. My VB was seriously out date though, pre oo, and if I was going to update, I felt that syntactically C# was closer to the other, dare I say it, more
modern things, and other things I'd be using, eg json, java eventually etc. It was time to start 'seeing' code in that way too. It was actually the shared .net & CRL, and the amazing code converters, that persuaded me in the end, it's not quite as painfull as I thought. There also seemed to be slightly more C# resourses around?
Anyway I've started now so stop making me doubt it
When I quit development about 15 years ago, I never wanted to see another line of code ever again. I was sick of it. This has remined me why I fell in love with it in the first place and I'm really annoyed with myself that I didn't go this route much much sooner. Then again, when you're seduced by the apparent simplicity of that addictive video game call 'The Ladder', going the more challenging route (and back to something I thought I hated) didn't seem like the logical choice. A second year watching summer happen to other people out of the window has sealed the deal.
