Everything in C/C++ is available in other languages. I suppose you could argue that the performance you get is better than interpreted languages, and it's easier to develop in than pascal or assembly was. But as far as features go, I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything unique.

it depends on how good a programmer you are, generally c/c++ add less overhead to some tasks so your code is executed faster. every language has a profile, VB is meant to do somethings, c/c++ is meant for other (for example) trying to develop a driver in VB is as wrong as trying to develop a simple window for data entry in c/c++. I generally use VB for all my user interaction methods and use c/c++ to develop .dll so I can extend (if needed) the functionality of my programms. If I don't need user interaction I go with c/c++ only. if you are into choosing what language to learn consider mastering more than one (perhaps vb/c/c++/java), also having some acknowledge on some others. Also some scripting (i.e php, ASP) and database programming (oracle store procedures, sql, etc.) but there are so many that it is almost mind buggling, just take a look at this chart http://www.levenez.com/lang/history.html
