I respect you as an extremely knowledgeable and skilled programmer but that statement is just plain slanderous. It implies that VB6 has more terse methods of accomplishing certain tasks than VB.Net. Having experience in both languages I can tell you confidently that it is absolutely not true. Just about all common tasks in programming can be done in fewer lines using VB.Net than in VB6 especially when it comes to manipulating lists, arrays and collections.

I know exactly what you mean. 2012 is brings some attractive language features but I just can't get past how ugly it is compared to 2010. And all those caps.....God! It drives me crazy.
