var was bad enough, but at least it has a need - Linq won't work without it

Really?
I'm not having a good enough understanding of the plumbing behind Linq to be able to say you're wrong, but you can always select real types instead of anonymous types if you want to.
But yeah, the freaks that are known as linq to SQL spit and Linq to XML might be a different story.

Error Resume Next is like an invisible empty catch block

It's rather quite visible.
The problem is rather, that actually handling errors in old VB was even worse. Just taste the syntax "On Error Goto ...", yes it says GOTO WTF | :WTF:

I don't understand the need to always be backward compatible.
