I've found the opposite. For me, C# as a language is nicer than Java. The libraries themselves are a bit of hit and miss - personally I've found Java's concurrency APIs to be much better than C#'s, however I've found the async and LINQ support in C# to be far nicer than the Java equivalent (including Java 8 streams etc). But tooling... wow... Visual Studio feels like such a huge dinosaur compared to IntelliJ IDEA. Not to say it's that bad, but IDEA is so far ahead of any other dev environment I've ever worked with it's not even funny. Even adding Resharper to VS doesn't feel much more than scratching the surface. As always, YMMV.
