I just had to qoute this post from Scott Hanselman where he talks about CodeRush some more. For me the qoute hits the nail right on the head when it comes to the difference between C# and VB.NET.

When folks say that the differences between C# and VB.NET are "syntactic sugar" I like it.  Sure there are a few funky ; % & ^ things in C#, and every once in a while someone will add a new operator to VB.NET like "AndAlsoIsNotOnTuesday" but generally ifs are ifs and fors are fors, eh?

In case you were wondering CodeRush is a tool which helps C# developers be even faster than they are today by adding some features to the VS.NET IDE which the VB.NET developers have had since the inception of the tool but Coderush goes further than this and provides some of the features which are available in Whidbey (Visual Studio 2005).

Unfortunately it comes with a pretty hefty price tag for the at home developer so you better get your boss to pick this up for the office ;)
