I've been using C# for my .Net trials and if you know JScript, Java or any C, C# will be familiar. One thing in favor of C# IMHO is the fact that it is a really lean language that as you say doesn't carry all the garbage of it history with it. There a few things that VB is a little easier to use with (especially in regards to COM object access), but otherwise the main difference is one of preference. Language has large become a moot point with .Net because you're using the CLR for almost everything. So other than the various structured statements (if/else,for,while etc.) code is almost identical.
