I do. I've been using it on and off from early on.

Well, at first glance it looks like that, but deeper in it has a whole lot 
of good stuff Java doesn't. Until you start going into complex stuff, it's 
just "Java, fixed."  Once you start trying to do something difficult (like 
access to native languages, deployment, web scripts, generating code at 
run-time, etc) it's way better.

Indeed it has. C# 1.0 was sort of "Java, improved."  C# 3.x by now has all 
kinds of goodies in it that Java lacks.
