On your last point. No, SB compiles to IL which is what C#, VB and all .Net languages also compile to. IL is a low level language , just one step above machine code. IL is then converted to machine code by the .Net runtime and therfore may be architectuire independent if appropriate runtime is available. You will have to do some googling and reading on this to understand how SmallBasicCompiler.exe works, it can be decompiled.
My thoughts were that if someone wants C# functionality beyond what can done in SB, then they should move to C#, as you have.
sVB did extend the compiler a bit (you can also decomplie its compiler), but extending further to me doesn't really make sense since once you understand how to use SB, the jump to C# or other language is not such a big leap and there are way more resources to help than there ever will be for niche versions of SB.
