Why don't you learn C# and then come back and see if you feel the same way. It's a MUCH better language and environment than Java.

I first started using C# professionally in 2003, after starting out with the betas. I helped implement some key .NET support for the Delphi compiler when I worked at Borland.
I'm quite familiar with the evolution since then too. For example, back in 2006, I advocated implementing a CPS transformation to make better use of async code in .NET:

It only took 7 years for async methods to come out, but they're there now; and I understand their utility in no small part because I was one of the people asking for them.
