Maybe slightly. But the difference is too marginal to change languages over.

Maybe, but it also has many more libraries doing the one obscure thing that you need for your domain.
In a vacuum, C# is a very good language, probably better than Java (as it should be given that it was able to learn some lessons from early Java). But in the wider world of programming languages they really are extremely close to each other, they're suitable for exactly the same problems, and Java has a substantially greater mass of libraries/tooling and probably always will do.
