For my part, I have to agree with you on this one. 

In terms of any subjective to-and-fro'ing regarding the languages
themselves I did some small research projects using C# and realised
I couldn't find any reason to favour it over other more suitable
languages in most contexts.

*As a language* it's not bad (even though python it ain't), but considering
the number of hoops to be jumped through to adopt it, I'll be
wanting my alpha waves parsed as I sleep into well-commented
colloquial English and run by an English Language JITc with assembly-like
speed before I'll consider using it over python, or php, or C++.

In essence, not a big fan.

^IAWTP^ Couldn't agree more.
