The two features I miss from java:

1. The compiler checks for exceptions being thrown and and makes you write a catch.

2. Anonymous inner classes.I prefer even handlers, but would still like this feature.

I think c# does a good job of always adding features that make it easier to write code.

Interesting that you miss checked exceptions. Is one of the most criticized feature of the language, see Does Java need Checked Exceptions? [0]. Also in this discussion between Anders Hejlsberg and Bruce Eckel they are discussing why C# did not adopt them: The Trouble with Checked Exceptions [1]. Also Java theory and practice: The exceptions debate [2] discusses the more on the topic.
