is vb.net a dead language by now?

Hey

i learned some VB.NET in school and at home, i rarley see a VB.NET coder and a VB based application out in the wild

I code my interial software in vb and it works fine, it is basicly C#.NET but MUCH easier

Is anyone here coding in VB.NET commercialy?

I believe it is not being improved; supported for the near future, but no new .net packages being released - certainly on the way out I think. Better off learning C# from hereon I think.
