Agree. My point is that, if I personally dislike C# (I don't), and I'm on a team of C# experts and C# is the best choice for shipping the product given those experts and all the other use cases, then C# is the best tool for the job and I'll peruse C# documentation. I try my best to focus objectively on the product, not my ego or subjective preferences...and I often fail :(.
Yeah, sure, and I was able to avoid the painful years. But C# pre-generics and pre-Linq is a way less appealing language too, you know? Most languages that are popular now look kind of rough to work in several versions ago.
