Over that 20 years, C# has been continuously improved with language features added at a faster rate than Java. Some examples: * properties * LINQ * async/await * dynamic types * better generics * inferred typing - `var` * null conditional operators * custom iterators - `yield` * pattern matching

Also, .net is more of a “pit of success” language — Java with all its legacy baggage requires a lot more knowledge to avoid mistakes.
