for me there is every need, and its really for your benefit...
eventually (hopefully soon) you'll realise that vb is a 'prototype' language, designed for prototyping code, and while it is easy to code, its bloated and not best designed for certain applications, like process monitoring, dumping, training, cracking / hacking related stuff.. its fine for inet, file stuff etc simply because the inet lags, files have access times and so on.. put simply its slow.. bloated and no matter what you think of your coding skills, you will always be viewed as a 'noob' coder simply because its an 'easy' language..

getting jobs in the industry for example usually require c/c++/asm knowledge, its rare to see jobs asking for vb coders (unless its some database program, or similar)... so changing languages to a 'better' one will benefit you in the future if you plan to get a job in the industry.. and once you switch you'll see what visual basic actually did.... and that was to hide most of how everything works in the windows system, eg: do you actually know how the text1.text="vb sux" works?.. by it making everything easy it 'limits' your understanding of the operating system, which in turn makes you a worse coder...
