Yeah if you look at business facing apps I think between the apps that can be web (so they will) and the apps that can't be C# because of perf (games etc) you have a pretty small selection left. That doesn't mean C# has failed in that niche, far from it. But it's not a very visible niche because it's not what consumers use. The use case is bespoke LOB/PoS/Internal apps. Just like VB.

I agree. But it's not a small segment. It's not very visible from the outside but the number of internal developers in large companies is huge. And it's a segment where they don't care so much about load time (intranet, no quick browsing) and where using the same language for front end and back end is appealing.
