Well, I've actually become quite fond of C# and hope they don't fudge about with it too much, it's nice and clean as it stands and there isn't anything I can't do without the language and .Net, but the thing is we don't deal with large-scale apps so I haven't hit these brick walls that most people have hit with .Net.
