Sadly, you can't say "anyone" here. I'm quite certain some people will find Microsoft more free than Oracle and, given the surface-level similarity between the two languages, will chose C# before they move on to a different language.

After all, like professor Wirth once said, P. T. Barnum was right. It's not reasonable to bet your company on the premise either Microsoft or Oracle will have a sudden change of mind and start playing by the rules.
It's not reasonable to bet a dollar on that ludicrous idea.
