Everything is optional, you can still code in C# like you did years ago and there's nothing wrong with it. I look at the new things and take what I like. For example I particularly dislike the async / await paradigm so I still use background workers (and they work absolutely fine for my needs). Linq is sublime (I know it's already "old") : I wasn't convinced at first but now I wonder how people in other languages manage without it ! Some things are just syntactic sugar but are very practical : the ?? and .? operators, new MyOjbect { Property1 = 15}; etc etc I'm sure there are a lot of things I don't know about the language but it's fine, i will find it when I need it. Last week I needed to define a method body at the creation of the object and not in the class. After some lengthy googling because I didn't know how to put words on what I was looking for, I found that C# had Func and it solved my problem beautifully.
