No more problems with Oracle, but what about Microsoft? Today we have the "cool" CEO, but that may change in the future. Remember Android started when Java was in Sun Microsystems' hands.

Apart from that, C# and Java are not very different from each other. You can get many of that "features" from other Java languages, no need to move away from the JVM, so you can still benefit from the largest community.

Their move to Open JDK should do away with the oracle issue no?
They are just cherry picking features, check the AOSP.
