I've never used c# or vb.net.. well actually tell a lie, I have used vb.net before for a client who had an ASP developed site. But not too a massive extent. For what I use programming languages for I don't really see much difference if I'm REALLY honest. I can create things quickly in PHP because I have developed a huge library of useful functions - which helps with production time. Some people say PHP isn't an enterprise level language, but I really haven't been in a situation where I couldn't do something with PHP (although saying that some of the methods I've used in the past may have been a bit spaghettified). Beyond that, I always assumed I'd just use Python... Maybe I'll give c# a proper whirl round one day.
