While I don't entirely disagree with you, "default" c# style won't screw you up the way default c++ will, while masterful c# will give you a non-trivial amount of the benefits if they continue to make intelligent improvements.

Will it ever be perfect? Of course not. But I feel like the direction they are taking is a reasonable one.

This is the basic dilemma for any language. You can evolve and grow bigger, or you can stay simple and pure. I think history show languages have to evolve to stay relevant - "small and elegant" languages like Scheme and Smalltalk are not widely used. But since you can't really remove existing features, evolving leads to more complex languages.
