C# appreciation thread

How many of you guys prefer coding in C#? I feel that C# is the best language for quickly coding programs for windows, and with managed directx there's tons of awesome stuff you can do. I just started my computer-education this autumn, and we're being forced to make stuff in java. Java and C# are pretty much identical, only C# has more functionality (WHY doesn't java have properties? X| ), has the infitely superior development environment ('cause remembering the syntax of your programming language is SO last paradigm), and, in my experience, runs a good deal faster than java.

Perl's main advantage and main disadvantage is its ability to represent complicated data structures and operations with extremely brief syntax. I've yet to see a real difference between Perl and Python other than the syntax, which causes me to stick with Perl, mostly because I hate typing a lot.
