When was the last time you've used C#? The fact you are lumping it in with Java already suggests your C# skills are very out of date. C# is by far the fastest growing mainstream language. C# 3 and now C# 4 require very little boilerplate code. I'm often amazed at how clean and succinct my C# code can become nowadays. As for UI programming in C#, give WPF and/or Silverlight a try. They both have their downsides, but in the end they offer a far more pleasant experience than Cocoa Touch. I haven't written an MFC app in about 1.5 decades or so.
