Not sure if "careful" is the right word. I've gone through many, many languages over the last 20 years, and VB has become my first choice (when the choice is up to me). Most other VB devs I know (there aren't many) just seem... uninterested in arguing over it vs. C#, or anything else for that matter. It's part of the appeal to me - shipping, and the journey are worthy of discussion. Language is incidental.
This is answered by the mentions relative to TIOBE graph. They use VB, but they are careful not to talk about it.
