Short answer - suck it up.

VB has a bad reputation, a lot of it deserved. I worked with VB from conception on early Windows through to VB6 and started moving into VB.Net bey never transferred. C# and VB.Net compile to the same runtime and AFAIK most of not all commands are convertable 1:1. A lot of people won't accept that the two are in the same ecosystem but you can chose - stay with what you know or move on.

In my career, I started in COBOL and moved through various other languages - including C, VB and Java - and I now find myself as a newbee with all the web tech. The answer is not to moan, but to knuckle down and learn the new stuff.
