Fortunately, Xamarin lets you create iOS and Android apps using VBif you want to. 
So when you look at it that way, I suppose you could say that VB is the future.

Did you go through all manner of issues getting it installed? For the thrird time now I've had no end to problems... on 3 different PC's
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Took me a bit of fiddling, but yes I did.

"Took me a bit of fiddling"
Very concise whilst not too precise!
Been there and done that, but most of the time it's due to not having enough and also correct information. 
Let's push this out the door, if they really are keen on using it they'll figure out how it's supposed to work.
My current source of woe: TFS 2015 / TFS 15 vNext build system. Works out of the box except if ... 
(It is really great let me assure you of this, but trying to find good documentation on it is not! )
Cheers!

What errors are you getting? Admittedly, I have had a lot of errors with Xamarin, but it is working for me now. What version of windows are you using?
Please provide details and perhaps I can help.

I've installed it on a Windows 7 laptop. And also on a Windows 7 VM running on a MAC. Biggest problem I had was getting it to connect to the MAC. After a couple of updates on both the W7 and MAC sides things seem to be pretty smooth now.

I even didn't tried!  IMHO Xamarin as a 3-rd party company don't reward attention. .NET is a MS platform and THEY are completely responsible for proper UI lib on Linux. But instead of burying clumsy WPF and making usable UI, MS just points finger "hey, see, these guys make something like UI!". WTF?!! Who is responsible for that UI? Nobody. So why we should waste time on "hand made" library w/o any support and quality assurance?
ATM MS has only two robust combinations: Windows+WinForms & Windows+WPF. Last one is slow and clumsy, so only 1.5 combinations.

I used it at a previous job (~2 years ago now). Got it working fine. Had to get all those dependencies taken care of that you're noticing, but I don't remember it being that painful.

I got it to work using VS2013. It was painful but worth it.
I have two Corporate Apps running.
Once you figure out the hundreds of little obstacles, you can get to a nice little code->deploy cycle.

After spending several fruitless hours I gave up and decided the old ways are best.

Use visual studio built in installer.
Tick android development (xamarin)
I have not run into troubles until now.
The thing I hate about Xamarin is, the apk it produces is way too bloated. >_>
|

Indeed the easiest is to install Xamaring with Visual Studio, it may just take time to download everything.
I remembered thinking that it wasn't working, but it's just because I didn't have the Android Emulator installed.

Yes, but process could be better. I ended up with a fresh win 10 install. Then used the Zamyl universal template then I fixed each problem just to run an empty project. Was painful but eventually got through it. Good part of the problem is Different Nugett packages and then updates from his Xammer in. It's worth the effort though once you get a good stable install working in all platforms we care about, you literally have one C-sharp CodeBase. Used stackoverflow a lot. Product has come so far since it's mono days. Except for the installation issues that really is a mature good product

So yesterday a child was forgotten in a forest by the responsibles for a child camp[^] who organized some activities there. This is now going to be a big bashing about how bad these people were, not even able to count the number of children placed under their responsibility and take care of them, aso...
This is precisely why I hate our society. Everything HAS to be perfect. Even more perfect because children are involved. No error allowed.
So okay, they made a mistake, and a 3-year-old has been left alone for 7 hours. But statistically, in France, millions of children are put under other people's responsibility every day (teachers, sports trainer, child care, etc...), which make billion of billions of opportunities every year to have one left alone or forgotten somewhere. So ONE left alone every other year makes a failure rate of less than 0.0000001 ppm, which is close to nothing.
The child is safe. Move on!
But I know what is going to happen : people getting fired, new laws about children care and rules and procedures, bla bla bla.... This is just plain sick. I hate it before it even started to happen.

In my day he would have been taken in by a family of wolves, befriended a bear and a panther, escaped a snake, been captured by monkeys and fought a tiger before being lured back to his village by some singing water fetching person.

In my time, he and his brother would have been adopted by wolves and founded an empire.
