It doesn't matter which way you look at it, Java today, after all the work put into catching up, still pales in comparison to the C# of 2007.

Really, C# is a public service to correct for something that for so many reasons should be awesome having turned out so-so at best.

(You may say writing a million getters and setters, declaring types twice, stuffing your code in deep directory hierarchies, and dealing with bizarre licensing/version issues feels normal; that's the Java talking.)
