As a now old guy developer, I laughed when Microsoft released C#. I figured it was just a half-assed attempt at a Java clone. Then I used it, and realized I was wrong. Microsoft has been continuously improving the language, and .NET has support on a lot of platforms. As long as Microsoft keeps making my life easier, I am going to keep using it. I haven't worked on a big Java project in a few years, but I would always find myself missing stuff from C#.
