Visual Basic

A good friend of mine loves preaching to me that VB is the best language out there. I have just begun my programming career, so I'm not experienced enough to argue with him on the subject. All I have done so far is learned some C in a few of my college classes. What do you all think about VB? If you hate it, give me some arguments to throw at him so I can be ready next time he brings it up.

VB.net is not actually a terrible language, like previous VBs. It's a proper language and is essentially identical to C#. Having said that, it's still enterprise bullshit and you should really only learn c, lisp and smalltalk.
