A lot of people just like C#. I think it's fair to say that it's a well designed language. It also depends on the task at hand and your personal preferences. I had to develop a couple of iPhone apps and in the process I've developed a pretty strong dislike for Objective-C (mainly its syntax, stupid, I know) - in the future I'd probably try MonoTouch. Many people also tend to prefer the language they're strongest in when they need to get things done, especially when they don't know the other languages and frameworks that well. In my case, I'm a Windows / C# guy at work, at home my laptop is running ArchLinux and I use it to code in a variety of languages. This didn't prevent me from trying to set up a mono / asp.net mvc app with nginx and postgresql on it :)
