I am C# developer. I really love the curly brace because I came from C, C++ and Java background. However, I also like the other programming languages of the .NET Family such as VB.NET. Switching back and forth between C# and VB.NET is not really that big of deal if you have been programming for a while in .NET. That is very common approach in the company where I work. As C# guy, I really like the XML literal and with keywords provided by the VB.NET compiler. I wish Microsoft had included those features in C# also.
I am just curious , what other developer has to say about it!
I wouldn’t be suprised if ‘With’ or a similar feature is added to C# eventually along with other heretofore popular exclusively VB features. There was a lot of talk in the C# 4.0 preview presentations recently at PDC and elsewhere of the increased ‘focus on language parity’ starting with C# 4.0 and VB 10.
