I'm sure there's a bunch of people that look at that title and think this is a thread with another religious argument.

Far from it. This is facts. This goes beyond the tired arguments about syntax preference and with statements.

I realize this is probably old news to most of you:
Future features of C#

New features being added to C# were discussed by C#'s creator at OOPSLA in November. From talking to some guys on the design team, these features are just the beginning to changes / additions being made to C#. Note! These valuable new features are not going to be in VB. And, in the future, C# will become more and more of the workhorse - a language that the more serious programmers will use. VB will get new features more geared towards rapid development.

This isn't a flame starter...It's just an FYI.
