I like C# these days quite a bit, after ~10 years in both Java and C#, and now ~7 in Ruby, my language preference is Ruby first, then C#. I do a lot of Android development these days too, so I retain a strong connection to Java.
But when I have to move from Rails to, say, ASP MVC (which is quite good, btw), generics are actually one of my biggest frustrations. Even with some of the quasi-dynamic typing available in C#, and even though I believe I have a pretty strong grasp of advanced generics concepts (in? out? Generic methods? Wildcards? Argh!) to me they introduce a maddening level of conceptual complexity and un-readability that are simply not worth the trouble.
