VB is a popular language. People will use it whether it's avaliable on linux or not. Sure it's not a nice language but I like the idea that these people weiting in it might have an option to use linux as a development platform. Maybe they'll even start tinkering with other languages since they'll have access to GCC without having to go download binarys for windows.

Everybody complains that the linux desktop is hard for non-technical people to move over to. Maybe being able to easily develop apps for it will help them out.
