The bad habits are not attached to the language (at least most of them), but
to the programmer, and they will be carried to any new language. Even if
they are not bad habits but just ignorance, say, not using inheritance
because it did not exist in VBA/VB6, he will not be using it just because of
choosing C# and not VB.NET.

That's what VB.NET has the ':' for:

\\\
Bla() : Foo() : i = i + 12 : Goo(1, 2, 3)
///

No problem. Personally I do not like the ':' statement separator ;-).
