What's wrong with the VB With / End With keyword?

Question

In this question, the user commented to never use block C in VB. Why?

Answer 1

"Never" is a strong word.

I think this is normal if you do not abuse it (e.g. nesting)

IMHO is better:

With MyCommand.Parameters
    .Count = 1
    .Item(0).ParameterName = "@baz"
    .Item(0).Value = fuz
End With

than:

MyCommand.Parameters.Count = 1
MyCommand.Parameters.Item(0).ParameterName = "@baz"
MyCommand.Parameters.Item(0).Value = fuz
