Most times yes but this is not one of those cases. It's very obvious what VB.Net's future is just as it was obvious what VB6's future would be when MS went introduced .Net as the underlying platform for Visual Basic.

I think the difference between most folks and myself is that they cannot separate their love for VB from the actual facts about the language. We could love VB as much as we want, it wouldn't change the fact that more and more people are choosing C# over it and Microsoft themselves have taken notice which is why we do not see Visual Basic support in all .Net technologies like Xamarin and Blazor. It's just not wise to bet on VB.Net for the future.
