Why C++?

Kindly search the threads already on this site for a massive collection of "X vs Y" debates/religious wars. The search tool is in the upper right of the lower portion of the screen, next to "login" (below the GameDev.Net links); enter "C++ vs VB" and enjoy.

This thread is doomed to become a C++ vs VB flame ware! Maybe the GDNet staff should add a link in the upper frame with a title "VB vs C++" or "C++ vs VB". If you want to know why C++ is more popular than Vb, try them both and you will find out. I use both at the moment but I still prefer C++, why? Speed, more control etc.
