C# I can handle (despite coming to it late, as part of Unity3D), but I find Java more and more frustrating to work with.

To be honest, I think I'm just using it for the wrong thing - I don't tend to work on big, collaborative projects which is where Java really shines. Meanwhile, C# has a few conveniences (such as LINQ and rectangular arrays, off the top of my head) which seem to me to make scripting and small projects easier.

What aspects of C# makes working on large collaborative projects difficult? Not sure where you are going with this.

Unless you meant Team Foundation Server / Visual Source Safe pukes.

None. I was just talking about my issues with using Java for small projects, not using C# for large projects. My argument is that C# covers scripting and small utility programs adequately, while Java seems to require more boilerplate.

C# would be my natural choice for projects large or small.
