It should never have been invented, and should never be used.
VB.NET is a nice way for kids to get started with real programming who previously got suckered into thinking VB6 was programming.
They'll at least have a partially familiar syntax.

I don't know much since I only used to programming in VB6 and have never really tried to learn more about VB.NET.
- I think VB.NET is now cross-platform: Mono Project
- New features has been added such as: += -= *= \= ++ -- and function overload.
