C# became that way to me. Some of the new syntactic sugar was redundant and wound up making code less easy to follow. I didn't adopt it all myself, but it made me less interested in parsing through others' codebases. I still typically remove the LINQ defines from my own new code, and that seems to be one of the more acclaimed language features.
