VB.Net Practicality

Question

Since according to what someone told me that developing in Visual Studio is now free (community edition). Is it practical (career opportunities) to stick with it or is it better to go with open source prog. lang. like Python?
As what I heard if you want VS, you need to be with C# and not VB.net but base on my experience .net is easier like Python than C#.
Please give me some advice.

Answer 1

yes it is only good for Windows software development.

Answer 2

C# and VB both runs in .net framework.
and as by @claudio choose language on your personal preference.

Answer 3

It's all a matter of personal preference
Python and Ruby have their own charm
If you want to follow the crowd, your choice is Java
If you want an emerging language, javascript and nodeJS
Depends on your preference 😀

Answer 4

So career wise vb.net is still a good choice?

Answer 5

alright, because I saw recently that Microsoft is attempting to do cross platform compatibility (android and iOS) on their visual studio so I'm wondering if vb.net will grow it's demand in the market
