I disagree, he isn't wrong. He isn't wrong until Microsoft does one of these bad things you automatically assume they will do. Plus, even if Microsoft did do something to make C# not viable anymore that makes Microsoft bad, not the language. For instance, if someone came along with a patent claim that somehow shut down the viability of one of your free languages, does that make the language itself bad? Now, based on the concerns you bring up there is a valid debate over whether C# is a good choice for the future, but not whether it's a bad language. You could easily say that C# is a good language but I wouldn't use it because of reasons A and B.
