Must say, most people i know have made a switch of sorts, although not
necessarily abandoning VB. This switch however, is often not to .Net.

Good point, Frank.
I was checking around looking at the options.
My main interest is in producing applications quickly that can
be distributed as an executable. Main options seem to be VB6,
VB .NET, Delphi basic and Liberty Basic. Correct me if I'm
wrong, but Java is not compiled to a *.exe, is it?

No it isn't, but you can use a tool to wrap you app into one.
(It will still be bytecode running on the JVM, though)

    ... It seems the strongest contenders were the first ones which were passed, namely Strings in switch, the catch-multiple exceptions, ARM, shortening generic construction, null-safe operators, and apparently generics+varargs savory goodness. ...
