I tend to agree with you. If there are two languages (C# & VB.NET) that are 99% functionally equivalent but 90% of people use one (C#) then to me it is a no brainer to use C# are well. I can't really think of any reason why someone would choose VB.NET for a new project over C# where the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
