...It's okay. I've programmed in far far worse languages. ...It's got its advantages. It's got it's problems. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Edit: If you need a serious answer: Much like BASIC, it's a language often used in teaching programming. In that sense, I guess it's much better than BASIC. You can, like, actually use it on real world applications. If you're using BASIC for real world applications in this day and age something has gone really wrong.

Visual Basic is essentially the same as C# if they’re both working with the .NET framework, if I recall correctly.
