Delegate madness

I've been studying C# for a while and this feature (along with events) just depresses me.

All this could've been much more elegant with first class functions.

I thought C# wasn't that bad, but they lost me here.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

What exactly is hard about delegates and events? Delegates are just function pointers with static typing, events are just lists of delegates that are called when the event is fired from within it's parent class. If you can't understand this you should rethink your career direction.
