Upgrading Visual Basic 6 to C#?

This is another big overlook of mine.  ArtinSoft's VB Companion has been able to directly generate C# for ages.  How come I have not told about it here?

Anyway, maybe the question to ask is: Should I move to VB.NET or C#?  Of course the answer is not obvious.  From the technical perspective both languages give you pretty much the same power.  Microsoft is positioning VB.NET more as a RAD environment and C# more for Systems programming.  However, in my opinion it is more a question of preference.  If your company has chosen C# for .NET development then the VB Companion can help you go straight there.

What do you prefer? C#? or VB.NET? Which one do you think is easier for the VB6 Programmer?
