>It seems like a leap to say that they expect C# to come first in every single category. From the categories you've listed, it doesn't come in first in any of them.

No, but I'd argue it comes close to second in each category. If you were choosing whether or not to use Python or C#, why on earth would it matter that C# lacked the OOP abilities of Smalltalk and the functional capabilities of Haskell.

To me, it doesn't make sense to compare one language to four other languages. It certainly feels as though C# is held to a different standard than other languages.

I use C# actively at work, and also for some of my side-projects (though 80% of them are usually written in javascript). I definitely know a place where C# shines: Big projects with a lot of developers. C# is really easy to maintain in my experience.
