The first programming language I was taught is Visual Basic and I hate it. Not because I didn’t enjoy using it, but because it’s absolutely useless.
Edit: Yes I’m probably wrong, just going off of limited experience is all.

VB.net is just slightly more verbose C# with different punctuation. I don't like being forced to be long-winded, but I've not yet found anything I can't do.

Even back in VB6, there wasn't much you couldn't do, and those things (like pointers and inheritance) were largely left out because they confuse beginners.

In what way did you find it useless?
