Yeah C# gets a bad rap. I spent a decade developing in C++, and Java before switching to C# because of program requirements. Now I never want to go back.

C# development was spearheaded by Anders Hjelsberg, one of the brains behind Borland Delphi/Object Pascal.

Does it get a bad rap outside of this meme? I've only heard praise. It's by far my favorite language

It's kind of the opposite of eclipse. People who use it like it and people who don't have experience with it disparage it.

It's IMO getting a bit oldish, it's nice for small projects (up to medium sized I guess, after that I don't see the benefits over say C/C++ but that's just my opinion) but there are a lot of improvements that could be done I think.

The language is open source IIRC, so it could be done I guess, like C/C++ has new versions every some years.

There are new versions of C# every year.
