Several reasons.

It is a simplified language compared to C++. You can easily learn 
coming from C++ or D. While being more limited than C++ without 
real meta programming, you rarely need it.

The libraries that come with C#/.Net are great. They are easy to 
use and they are plenty.

C# has various good IDEs to choose from, Visual Studio being the 
gold standard.
