C# succeeded based on the strength of Visual Studio.

Sure, the language being nicely designed and having some code translation tools helped people switch from VB.

But C# being the “best supported” language in Visual Studio. The productivity gains for developers were too real to ignore, managers saw it, and bought into the Visual Studio ecosystem en masse.

In turn, Visual Studio has great support for C# because of the C#'s great type system.
