For me the big problem is that I know it can do loads, but it's not C#. So between the awkward wait for it to boot, the stupid naming convention, and the knowledge that the whole power of the .net framework should be at my finger tips, but in a really alien and unintuitive way, I prefer to either write a really small bat, or write a small C# console app. And so I never become comfortable with it, even though I've tried several times since it was released. The newer IDE is pretty good too. But C# shows what it could have been if they'd had a talented language designer do it (which no-one can determine if someone is beforehand I admit). I just wish they'd admit defeat and just use a subset of C# instead of stubbornly sticking with something that seems fairly widely loathed.
