Outside of this group, I think most of the people considering C# really cool 
are people who are unaware of D and are coming to C# from Java. What's 
"cool" about C# is that it's like a less-shitty version of Java (and *had* 
good tools, although the newer versions of VS are almost as much of a 
bloated unresponsive mess as Eclipse - Which come to think of it, makes me 
wonder - If Java has gotten so fast as many people claim, why is Eclipse 
still such a sluggish POS?).

Compare C# to D though and most of the coolness fades, even though there are 
still a handful of things I think D could still learn from C# (but there's 
probably more than a handful that C# could learn from D).
