And VB doesn't?

Yes it does have goto - because there are occasions when you need it.
But outside a student's homework submitted to a lazy teacher I've not seen - let alone used - goto once in the "real world".

Face it: VB is based on a language designed for people who can't code, don't want to code, and have no interest in quality. It still has those early days buried deep in it's fabric: the On Error rubbish, the weak typing, the lack of need to declare anything.

Those aren't strengths, they are contributing factors to poor maintainability which are designed right into the language. That's why C# is the way it is: it encourages the production of more robust and understandable code.

Yes, you can produce good code in VB - but you have to treat it more like C# to do it and do all the work yourself!
