I can't speak for all java programmers, but for my everyday work, Java does most things I need. If I need more flexibility, I'd use Groovy or JRuby for those sections. I'm doing Scala on the weekends to learn functional programming. C# to me doesn't seem to offer enough that is different (from my admittedly quick looks at feature bullet point lists) to sacrifice even more of my spare time to learn it. The fact that I don't like Microsoft's business practices and try to stay away from anything associated with them for that reason is just icing on the cake.
