As a previous fan of C# and a long time Java sufferer, I'm pretty sure it's too little, too late for C#. Sadly, years of being locked to Windows has stunted the C# ecosystem and given Java enough time to get less horrible. Java 8+ is okay. Lombok helps. There's other great, mature libraries around. There's a choice of IDEs. There's JREs to choose from - there's even JVMs to choose from. Gradle makes build files not suck and makes it easy to add static checking and linting to the build process. AFAIK, C# doesn't have auto-formatting options outside the IDE. As much as I used to have your view, Java is alive, works fine, and makes money. Or Minecraft mods.
