We're both entitled to our opinions, but I've mentioned a couple of specific public (published) benchmarks for mine - do you have anything like that for yours?
Could you provide a link to heavy numerical operations - btw, ones that use native libraries don't count cause it ain't the C# implementation doing the work? As I've said there are some routines where C# performs fine but for heavy-weight modelling requiring intense arithmetic matrix/vector operations it is just too slow. What's more the benchmark for a single run does not always scale to many. The overhead becomes compounded when you're doing the same operation over and over again due to GC and cache misses.
C is a pain in the ass to do the things that C# is good at. If it works for you across the board then fine but I would stop assuming everyone else is an idiot.

I love C#, I think it is a great language but it just doesn't belong at the level where I NEED to code at.
