Perl is the ultimate target for programming language hate, because it
has all the things that other languages have. It has so many different
programming paradigms, so many different faces, anyone can hate it.

If there's something hateful about VB, probably Perl has it too, in some
form.

If there's something hateful about Java, probably Perl has it too, in
some form.

Etcetera.

Hating Visual Basic is like hating any Microsoft product. Way too
simple, way too easy. Predictable and boring. :)
