Good point. C# also has the advantage of being single-vendor if not single-designer. That single-vendor status, and the identity and reputation of the particular vendor, account for a lot of the stigma, in my opinion. This in spite of C#'s technical merits and more responsive evolution compared to, say, Java (which is also all too clearly single-vendor now, if it wasn't always). JS evolution is on the uptick, but can Ecma TC39 keep pace while specifying the changes correctly and clearly?
