I am a long term C# dev and have my educated guesses in what I am shepherd to ... But I am very curious about your opinion here since I am probably blind to this. And to keep the discourse focused on the interesting things, let us exclude "into Microsofts hands / into Azure cloud".

Being on the Java/.NET/C++ boat since the early days, and having been on the receiving end of those stacks on the Microsoft ecosystem, I would actually make a point of "into Azure cloud", given that the shepards at the desktop side don't seem to have any clue about what they are supposed to do after the Windows 8 debacle. Then the whole WinDev vs DevDiv politics seem to always influence what sheppards happen to take care of the herd, and the way decisions are taken. Meanwhile C# seems to be turning into the C++/CLI replacement while sucking the life out of F# and VB.NET. While I enjoy many of the latest .NET improvements, I occasionally wonder where they are going now.
