Looking at this from the Microsoft-centric world that I find myself working in (not out of design, I might add), it's hard to bet against Microsoft. We have some experienced Java guys here, and even they comment that the Visual Studio development experience is far and away better than Eclipse or any of the other popular Java IDEs. Love or hate Microsoft, they do make good developer tools, and you are right - the C# language is nice (in the way that newer things tend to be, given that they started with a clean piece of paper) Great post – very interesting, and lots of good points raised.
