My areas are mainly VB6 and VB.NET Winforms.

I don't code in C# and don't plan to until the IDE has the same level of productivity as it does when using VB.NET

My pet hates are:

• People who post VB.NET code that does not compile with Option Strict On - If you use VB.NET you should switch Option Strict On Now

• Answers that start "I don't usually code in [some question tag]" OR "I haven't used [some question tag] for 20 years" followed by some code in the language in question - please answer questions that you are qualified to answer
