Then thank your lucky stars if you weren't around when the java trolls used
to start month long flame wars here.

Jon Skeet said:Note that C# vs Java doesn't have to be a religious issue either. I've
never really understood the people who'd rather hide behind the FUD
(both ways) where each "side" claims that the other's platform/language
is slow, inelegant, proprietary etc.
Daniel Billingsley said:Well, the trolls used to make statements like "C# sucks because it's just a
clone of java" or "java is better because it's simpler" (yes, someone
actually said that) and you can imagine the nonsense that resulted
considering the stupidity of the opening premise. And to be sure, they
would inevitably include a fair dose of FUD from the MS side as well.
I don't know why it's so hard to accept/admit that both have their
advantages and disadvantages.
