Most folks who are employed go with the language tool their employers choose (my case). Those who are looking at future employment go with where the jobs are (C#/asp.net or java). Those who are self-employed go with the tools that will get the job done the fastest (dotnet and java may be equal here in functionality but I think dotnet is easier and faster).

What is your reason for looking at another tool?
