I think you're in a niche avoiding Microsoft technologies. It isn't so much as Microsoft opening up to the world (which is true to some extent) as embracing the smaller market shares of Linux + Mac OS. Windows market share is colossal, and C# is a big thing in Windows land, even more important than C++.

"Smaller market shares"? That depends entirely on how you limit your view. PC desktop, absolutely. But internet servers? Mobile? Those are places where Linux is huge, and Java is too. But the thing about Java is that it also works on Windows. And that's the great news here: you're not just stuck with Windows anymore if you use C#, and that makes it a lot more useful.
