Visual Basic Crashing Compiler

I'm starting to get real tiered of the Visual Basic Compiler. At least a couple of times each day I'm restarting Visual Studio because the Visual Basic compiler has crashed. I really like coding in C# and do that more and more for each day, but I have a Visual Basic programming history and I have always liked programming in Visual Basic, but now am I starting to get too unproductive in VB. It's sad that the quality is so bad that you have to change language because of that. What is really worrying is that all .NET versions have had problem with the VB compiler and it's really bad with this third version of the VB compiler for .NET.
One example when the compiler crashes 9 out of 10 times is if you are debugging the code and then hit stop without the code finishing it's execution. If this is the only case, I could have lived with it, but it also happens too often in other cases too.

Think, If we developers could hold our horses! If we could wait for the "corrected
relaese". But it's hard. Like children we have to open the gifts. We just have to try the new things. The temptation to try it in critical situations. Only for the matter
to get some code away or to have that extras. It isn't worth it. I've been around
for nearly 40 years now. Always the same; new realeases = crash or teasers. I prefer
crashes, then it's easy to take one step backwards. Somehow I can understand that,
in this case, Microsoft is thankfull for all those Beta+ testers. They had to put "2005"
over edge. They have a greater tasks to focus. Ajax, Web 2.0 and so on.
