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.

You mean like virtually every programmer on the internet? How many times have you heard 'Worse is Better','Goto considered harmful', etc. by people who don't actually understand what those arguments were actually about?
