Also on C# since one year and former Java Developer. C# is nice but it often feels like a "Me too" language.
Originally a copy of Java they now copy features from other languages leaving behind a total mess. While I am still not certain what language I like more I still think the Java API and the JVM are a lot better then .Net and the CLR.
