How is the .NET platform one of the worst? (The worst for cross-platform or simply the worst?)

I was more curious why C# is one of the best. Last time I looked at it (quite a while ago now), it was very like Java, and not many people rant about Java any more.

It's because modern idiomatic c# uses a lot functional programming inspiration.

C# has improved a lot faster than Java the last 5-6 years. I would say it is has been a much better language until recently when Java 8 was released. Now they are more equal with Java probably having some advantages since it was the last to update.

It's like Java 9. That hasn't been released yet. But so is C# 6.
