VB.NET and C# are probably not the best choices, especially if you want software that is cross platform.
FTP and Stars are C++ and Ongame and Entraction are Java, atleast primarily.
.Net should be alot faster to develop in than C++, and but platform independence would be a problem since mono suck.
The two java networks are sluggish as hell, especially Ongame. Whether this is because of performance differences between java/c++ I dont know, so I dont know if java is a good option. Part of it is prob poor design. I know the ongame main lobby window runs 60 threads. Stars runs 4 or 6 threads for the main window and one extra per table.
