I really like working with C#, .NET and the Microsoft platform in general because I don't have to cobble together my applications and workflows from dozens of questionable open-source tools and components (unless I'm building the front-end for an ASP.NET app!) I also wish building a rich, robust, high-quality web app were as easy as working in WinForms.
It is too limiting though. For now, the web (and native mobile) looks like the future. Although, I don't want the web to be the future because I think that HTML/JS/CSS is a horrible way to build an app. Hopefully a better "web" will come along with some kind of universal runtime. I could totally specialize as an iOS/Android dev and escape the current web, but I'm not a big mobile user - I'm surrounded by huge screens all day and I really don't use my phone much.
