Heh. I guess with the IDE's there is quite a bit of personal taste involved but believe me I am not the only who prefers IntelliJ.
Wrt. the other things; the way I see it .NET-support outside Windows has been "vapourware" since .NET's inception. It simply has not happened. In the beginning I thought this was MS's deliberate strategy but now the tables have turned and as a sinister business strategy it does not make sense anymore.
I have no more love for Oracle than I have for MS and I would love to see something as solid, cross-platform and performant as the JVM from MS but it just is not there.

Cross-platform and performant? Wait six months. (My friends in a position to know say sooner, but I'm a pessimist.)

Ok. I have been waiting since 2002 so what is another 6 months? :-)

don't need to wait much longer; it's already faster than nodejs for trivial benchmarks and getting better every day.
As for .NET, if it were a viable Linux server side VM, C# would be a very compelling language in comparison to any of the JVM languages. It blows Java out of the water, and even as a full time Scala developer, I'd have a hard time arguing against it vs Scala because the things I love about Scala come with so many things I hate.
