C# is a great language. It takes things from java and improves simple things like passing by reference, setter, getters etc. It has great features like linq and it had things like generics before java. VS is by far the best IDE. I feel it is much faster than eclipse. Other than the not being free part it is my favorite language to program since I started out with c++.
