Is being a programmer the same as being an artist?
No, obviously not. So why do you care about syntax? C# and VB.NET are both equally powerful, in fact, anything that VB.NET can do, C# can also, vice versa, no exclusions.
VB.NET however is much easier to read, and to learn.
Why use a harder language to read, when you can use vb.net?
There is no difference in capabilities.
