I moved to C# from Java back in 2001 for the RAD projects I had (still using C++ a lot when necessary though.) C# was a great language and it was faster than Java back then. But for the last couple of years all my RAD projects are now in JavaScript and it wouldn't go back.

JavaScript frees me up, where as with C# I feel like I am in a straightjacket where I am forced to write a lot of boilerplate code just to do something quick (a simple Main requires a class to exist!)

It's the right tool for the right job. C# is second to none for server side work and JavaScript is great for the client side stuff. Node makes it interesting but i'd imagine the [server side] debugging support is a while from being at the level C# offers.

Substitute C# with Java and your statement is correct ;)
