I aggree, but I guess it's easy to know how to build a better class library
when there is one already out there you can "model".
VS.NET is a pig as far as eating up processor and RAM but man, can those
guys ever make an excellent development studio.
One of my favorite features of VB.NET that Java doesn't have is automatic
"boxing" of primitive types. Basically the compiler will treat your "int"
variable as an object if you use it like an object, or it will treat it as a
primitive if you use it like a primitive.
