I totally agree with you. Sometimes the anti-MS feeling here is absourd.
C# is an amazingly designed multiparadigm language with excellent tooling that works in plenty of OS and devices. If it will come by google the open source world will be wet already. Having an ideology is ok but shouldnt be confused with technical merits. Some examples:
IQueryabe<T> and expression tress let you write expressive queries that run on the database but have compile-type checking. Amazing for mantaining big datacentric apps.
Async/await let you write complex asynchronous code as if it where usual imperative one. With for, try catch, etc... The compiler changes it for you.
And all this on a real language that runs fast and you can use in your work to build phone apps, web apps, win apps and also, but not just, compilers and authomatic theorem proving applications.
