The move to C# was/is driven by developers. As companies discover the
benefits of VB over C# there is a move back to VB. VB is somewhat
easier for the less skilled developer to use, mostly because of the
Visual Studio IDE. For a company it does not make since to chase
technology for technologies sake. The bottom line is most important,
not the language. It is not something new, it is something old.

Lots of companies do have lots of old vb6 code and the used VB for a
reason. The reasons have not changed.
There has been a running joke concerning C#. "Why learn to do C#?
Because it pays better."
Now for all those C# bigots, If I am wrong then VB should be fading
away?
DON'T put all of your brain cells into C#. You need VB in your tool
box.
