I'm not alone! I know multiple coding languages but for fun coding (i.e. I'm not being paid to do it) I fallback to VB.Net as I just don't have to think about it, it just flows from my fingers. Once it's an EXE it's no different from C# and as no-one else has to support my code, who cares that it's in VB.Net. I actually don't understand the hate that VB.Net gets. I think maybe people are just biased based on their knowledge of bad VB code from the VB6 and earlier days.
I'm also a huge fan of ASP. It's small, fast, and super simple to deploy onto any Windows server. If you are just writing a small web based tool for end users that's easy for people to maintain, then ASP is still definitely the way to go for Windows Web servers. By comparison, I've recently converted a few ASP tools to PHP that run on the same spec of hardware (under debian, not Windows) and PHP is definitely slower than ASP.
I love vb.net and used it extensively, but given the multiple writings on multiple walls, I switched to C#. While I prefer the vb syntax, I found that using two languages simultaneously is more cumbersome than using a syntax I like less for home projects. I find that muscle memory is a powerful tool.
