Visual Basic

Why do I need to learn Visual Basic?

VB is simpler than most other programming languages, however, is it capable of performing all the actions that one could perform with other languages? Well the answer to this question is not as straight forward as one might think, but if the language is easy to learn why do other people learn other languages? I think the reason for this is that other languages could provide a better efficiency and performance with some advanced features.
