For myself, it's C++. It's the one I've used the most during my educational career, and it's still the one I have the best understanding of. However, I find myself using VB more than anything lately. I know it's a weak language in comparison, but generally I code things for other people to use, and the form layout for VB is so easy for people to use, especially non-geek types.

agreed with you verran, VB is a nice quick way to program a simple application in a matter of minutes. It is a less powerful way than C++ and the others, but is so much easier to learn.

C because it doesn't hide things from you the way Java and even C++ does. I've programmed in all 3 and Java definitely has its place but going to the javadocs every 2 minutes gets pretty annoying. Maybe i'm just a control freak and its bad that I like to know exactly whats going on when a program i write is run.
