I have experience programming in large teams in both C++ (~10 years) and C# (~3 years), and my feeling is that the overall development is really quicker in C#. It's a large windows-only standalone app where speed is very important.
But if my team have to build such app with cross-platform requirement, I still think C++ would be the choice. [with the similar arguments the author uses at the end of his rant]

Or if you need to use any other libraries.
C# is great assuming everything you need is in .Net. As soon as you need a decent maths library or a screengraph or some image processing it involves a lot more work.
