I've had the complete opposite experience. I've found when it comes to libraries, C# has fewer, but higher quality than Java ones. I've also found C# to have a much more intuitive standard library. In C#, I can often just figure out how a standard library class works purely through the type system and the IDE, while in Java, I'd have to search through documentation more frequently.

Don't forget that once you get into it, VS is an awesome IDE.
