Well, I see it as lack of fanboyism which is interesting and almost unique to the Java/C# ecosystem. A lot C# experts(and I mean REAL, low level experts) seem to also have very high Java expertise..

And those that have Java expertise but not C# seem to demur to those that do; image!

But it's still niche(around here and in the startup world) and gets lumped in with Java and together they are not "hip" or "agile" or whatever.
