Just a general non-technical question to welcome some discussion

Maybe this has been discussed before, but I and wondering what makes C# (or any other language) superior to Visual Basic? I have personally been programming since the mid-80s where I started with qBASIC (goto statements, line numbers, etc) and evolved over the years and today I still proudly use VB, even with some ASP programming I do. More and more I see open jobs out there, or contract opportunities, where C# is a must and when I mention VB it is like I am some sort of pariah or leper. What is up with that?

So it is that C# and others are more technically superior to VB and I might be missing something, or is it that "fan boy" mentality of something like Xbox vs PlayStation?
